With no outs and the bases loaded, B4 hits a hard one-hopper back to F1 who immediately throws to F2 for a force play out on R1 from third base. F2 then attempts to retire B4 at first base but the throw hits B4 in the back while B4 was running inside the foul line. (Could be 20 feet from home or 40 feet from home. Does it matter?)

Running lane rule starts half way from HP to 1st, so unless playing with 80+ ft bases, 40 feet doesn't matter.

Edited ---- should say 20 feet does not matter. From HP that is.
