One of our greatest benefits on this board is that we have people like you that have the contacts to get definitive rulings. We appreciate that Mike.

But, I think you know the answer already. Are you saying that you would never allow a sac fly to the right fielder on CO? I don't think so, and thus by conclusion, the play is not killed when a violated player is ruled out.

(The reference allowing this long sac fly in NFHS is 8.1.1 Situation "I" in the case book. I'm betting there is similar in the ASA book.)
Dan,

I'm dealing with a swing and a miss here. Yes, on a batted ball, you are correct that there may be an option. However, ASA does not address a swing and a miss when the batter is not eligible to advance to first.
