As for the step and reach in FED, if the fielder deflects the ball into the path of the runner, and the runner could not avoid the ball, step and reach does not apply.

In Florida, you can miss 12 out of 50 questions and still call HS varsity games. Other states are equally lax. Most of us take great pride in knowing and understanding the rules ... but certification as an NFHS umpire at the minimum level means that the individual really doesn't know the rule book very well.
