What do you have: Squeeze?

[eagle_12]

This question/situation happened in FED game but I believe that what I would have as the the ruling is applicable to all codes. I didn't witness the play, it was brought to my attention by a newer umpire that had it in one of his games.


(A) R3, 0-1 outs. R3 breaks for home on the pitch, Batter squares for a squeeze bunt. Ball is bunted fair just out in front of the plate (dirt circle area, F2 would have a play on the ball). B/R clears the area on his way to first. F2 oblivious to the squeeze portion of the play is slow to react to the bunt and goes out to field the ball. R3 who breaks on the pitch comes home and touches the plate, and while on the plate makes contact with F2 (no malicious). B/R safe at first, late throw or no throw.

(B) Same play, but contact is made before runner touces the plate.



I wanted to ask because what I had and what a fellow friend of mind had are different.
