Tim.
Well Timster, I must fill you in then:

A) The OP mentioned that it was a RBI single, which means there was someone somewhere on a base.

B) Deep B is an infield position, not the outfield, which I just found out is called "The Pasture," or "E." So in "Deep B," U2 is in front of the fielders, so the batted ball is dead if it hits him.
