This is from the NCAA test....

R1, one out, 1-1 count. B2 is legally in the batter's box. B2 swings and misses and his normal follow-through unintentionally strikes the catcher while the catcher is in the act of throwing to second base in an unsuccessful attempt to retire R1.

a. The batter is not out, strike two and R1 goes back to first base.

b. The batter is out, and R1 is returned to first base.

c. The batter is out, R1 is allowed to keep second base.

d. The batter is not out, strike two and R1 stays at second base.


"A" is correct, right? This would be backswing INT, so no one is out but the runner returns to first. Isn't this the same as OBR? I could not find it in the NCAA rule book.
