Live or Dead ball?

Maybe? Thats the HTBT part. How severe was the injury if there was one? Anyone clearly knocked out? Blood pouring out of a wound? Visible teeth on the ground? Or were the players a little stunned, but still playing the game? I've had severe injuries where I have killed all play instantly and plays where its clear the players are a little hurt but in no need of immediate medical attention so I let them play until the offense stops running.

No, you get the last base you have legally advanced to once the umpire kills it. Moving the girl back to first may have been much, but it depends entirely on when the umpire kills it. (NCAA 6.9.3, 6.9.3.1)

The ball roles foul near the first base fence but in play. Our girl runs to 2nd on the play and prob could have gotten 3rd. The umpire call a dead ball and returns my girl from 2nd to first. My question is: Should play have been stopped with a dead ball? And is so shouldn't my runner at least be awarded the base she would have gotten?

Per these she gets whatever award she is entitled to get. Is there an NCAA rule that says she can be moved back to 1B?

That is not what the rule says. Per OP the ball is sitting in live territory near first base side fence when dead ball was ruled. The rule states that runners cannot advance during a dead ball unless there is a reason to advance them (catch and carry, home run, ball thrown out of play, etc). 12.12.6.4 provides that reason and puts it in the umpire's judgement as to what base(s) to award after play is suspended due to serious injury. If in their judgement 1B is all the runner would have attained then that is it.


Again, working with the book I have available to me, but OP hasn't stated what level of ball or rule set this is.
