(a coach told me someone ruled that a fair ball last week, that br thrown was out at 1st. Yuk! )

where was the ball when it was first touched?

2) batted ball tips f5 glove then hits 3rd.

where was the ball when it was touched by f5?

3) int by r1 bumping f4, still tagged out.

right result - wrong reason.

4) pitch hit batter because of batter sticking knee into it, dead ball. Judged by pu to be a ball anyway, ball 4, 1st base awarded.

proper call.
