Ok, this is a what if situation. Only parts (broken bat) have happened while I was umpiring.

NFHS and ASA rule answers.

a) R1 on 3rd, R2, on second, R1 on first, 0 out. B4 hits a line drive to left field for a base hit. As she hits the ball, the composite bat breaks, and the non-handle portion of the bat flies out and hits F1 in the knee, causing her to go down injured. R1 scores, R2 comes in throw gets by the catcher and out of play into the dugout area. R3 had passed second base by the time the ball was thrown, and B4 was passed first base. What do you have?

b) Same situation, except the bat slips out of B4 hands and hits F1 on the knee.

c) same situation, except the bat comes back and hits F2 injuring her? She ends up laying injured partially on top of home plate.
