thrown ball hits 1b coach
Had this last night, simple ground ball was thrown from F6 to F1, but F1 had glove way off line and ball pegged 1B coach. Coach went down with injury. I immediately called dead ballandawarded runners 2 bases from throw, assuming the ball would have gone dead if coach was not there ( no-one backed up the throw). BR ended on 2B, R1 ended on third.
Afterr consulting the rulebook after the game (ISF) I note 8.10.p
The runner is not out when a coach unintentionally interferes with a thrown ball or batted fair ball while in the coaches box
Only problem is, that rule is merely a classification that runner is not out and coach is not ejected. It doesn't give any effect.
Anyone know if I got this one right?
