An attempt to draw attention from the "85% missed this one" thread

FED rules.

R1 (yes, he is on 1st). F1 initiates a legal jump-turn and throws to F3 in an attempt to pick-off R1, who dives back to the base. The ball enters F3's shirt and becomes lodged.

Place the runner.

R1 becomes R2.

[dash_riprock]

That would make sense, but the rule (8.3.3.d) only addresses a pitch or throw from the rubber that becomes lodged in the CATCHER'S equipment. However, the case book (which I consulted immediately after clicking the "Submit" button) makes it clear that it is a one-base award.

In the words of Emily Litella, "Never mind."

R1 to 2B.

And if the ball enters R1's shirt? Place the runner.

He stays at 1st.

What if the ball entered the shirt of the GLM in the first row of the bleachers?

dead ball, and the ball must be manually removed by UIC
runners may have to do a 'turn and adjust'

In the dugout! He's out! At least that's what we were told in our association meeting last year! Let me know if anyone else knows otherwise!

A THROWN ball enters the runner's shirt, and you're calling him out? Wow. Or maybe you're thinking it's a batted ball? I really hope so... or else, get a rule book, cup.

I kid you not! This question came up last year. No one had ever seen the play and the head of our association said it! No rule quoted, but he said he was out!
