Awarding time

I don't like that though because example there is a second base umpire (BU. The batter hits a line drive no chance for a play by second or short stop. The ball would roll out for an easy single and close double, however the line drive is so fast the BU has no time to duck or move and it hits him. second base gets the ball that was knocked down and then throws the runner out at first. See what i mean?

If F4 or F6 had a play on the ball originally and were unable to make one afterward, it would be just as "unfair". Killing the play and awarding bases/outs would probably involve ejections as the HC's would clearly have differing views about how the play would have ended up.
