I agree with Mike. The situtation depends on whether the ball is a fair or foul ball, not the position of the runner. If the runner is on the bag, and considering that the base is in fair territory, if the batted ball is a normal fair ball, then it's a fair ball. If the runner has one foot on the base and the rest of her body is in foul territory and a ball is hit directly on the line and hits her, the ball is fair and then depending upon the position of the fielder, a ruling will be made on live ball/dead ball. That's the way I see it. Any other viewpoints? Now, I hope I said that right. I almost confused myself.......
