Don't have my ASA book with me, but I could peruse the NCAA rules (thanks to a nice little iPhone app), and it would appear that in the case of a batted ball that has already hit the ground prior to deflecting off of the player into dead ball territory would in fact result in a two base award to both the batter and the runner.
Of course, had it deflected off the player in flight and gone over the HR fence in fair territory, it would be a four base award.
I don't think that ASA would be much, if any, different in this ruling. So, Mike, what's the catch here?
