FED uses what is called the "String Theory" meaning line up all infielders and connect them via a "string". If the ball PASSES the string then hits the runner play on. If the the ball hits runner BEFORE passing the string Dead Ball runner out.

So in theory you could have a different answer between FED and OBR especially if the fielders are playing in. There's a FED case play explaining this.

But, there are also FED case plays that "disprove" the string theory.
