Ball Out of Play
Another situation arose in our softball game last night. We play by ASA rules.
Runner on first. Batter hits a hard liner to right field for a base hit. Runner that was on first stops at second. The right fielder comes up throwing, and overthrows everyone. The ball rolls out of play. At the time of the throw, the first runner is standing on second base, and the batter/runner is on first.
Where should the runners be placed? For the record, at the pregame captain's meeting, the umpire told us that any ball out of play would garner a runner two bases.
If I remember correctly, there's a difference between a ball batted out of play, and one thrown out of play. Help?
