If by some act of God the ball landed just in front of the second base bag with enough backspin to cause it to pass the foul line between home and third or home and first it would still be a fair ball. Second base is beyond both the first and third base bag.
Fair in Fed. Foul in OBR. I do not know about NCAA. Second base is farther from home than first base is, but second base is not considered beyond first base. to enable the umpires more accurately to judge fair and foul balls. Kudos to the writers of the rule book for avoiding the split infinitive! [Edited by greymule on Mar 7th, 2006 at 04:01 PM]
