FED Baseball: If it's accidental, runner is safe. See casebook interpretation above.
OBR: No mention of this occuring is listed.
FED Softball: Runner is out, ball is dead. Doesn't matter if it was accidental or on purpose.
This happened in a game I was doing 3 years ago. 14 year-olds using OBR rules. I was UIC. I let the action play itself out, then after defensive coach calls time to argue, I talked it over with my partner, and we decided that since it was a pitched (thrown) ball that the catcher had a chance to catch but didn't and that the batter did not contact the ball intentionally that the ball was live.
