Dead Ball
What is the correct call.
USSSA/MLB rules
Runner on 1st, batter hits the ball towards 2nd, the ball hits the baserunner advancing to second prior to the fielder attempting to field it, second baseman picks up the ball and throws to first in time to get the batter. Umpire calls runner out and calls the batter out as well.
Coach wants the batter awarded first base on a dead ball once it hit the runner??
Seems incorrect to me in this regard. If you have no outs runners on 1st and 2nd, runner on 1st is dead slow, ball hit towards short, perfect for double play, baserunner on 2nd realizes this and kicks the ball. He would be out but you would have runners on 2nd and 1st with only one out.
Just curious
Thanks
