This is a "local" ruling. We aren't using it where I work.

sounds like this interp comes from 5-1-1-f-2, a fair batted ball becomes dead if it hits a runner after passing an infielder and another fielder could have made a play on the ball.

however, looking at 8-4-2-k shows that in the situation outlined above, the runner is out.

My guess is that someone has their wires crossed. That interp is not being used in Arkansas.

...but nothing in the sitch indicates that another fielder could have made a play on the ball. That's the 'exception' allowed for a drawn-in infield, or so I thought. *shrug*

Im with the others, I cant see this being anything other than a play-on, besed strictly on the case play given.

According to Federation there was "no sentence left out" of any ruling. Again, it appears that some power somewhere has tried to "fix" things their own way.

Sheese,
