In ASA, a runner could hit a ball off the fence, slug F3 in the jaw on his way around first, and then make it safely to 2B. Ejected but not out. Same with OBR, I guess, though I wonder: if F3 slugs him back, is that obstruction?
I'm trying to forget Fed rules, but I believe they call for both an out and an ejection in such a case. Fed has "malicious contact," but ASA does not.
