I don't know how you "saw" that from the OP when the OP wrote:

Quote:
Pitchers throw hits the runner who is still on second right before SS is ready to catch it crossing the bag, then SS runs into runner still on second as ball is rolling away.

Everyone on batting team who saw the pitcher short hop it is yelling run, run so Runner on second realizes ball is live and proceeds to third.
Sounds to me like R1 made no attempt to advance to third until he heard his teammates yell "Run!" and he realizes the ball was live. At that point, I doubt that he was still recovering from F6 running into him. The OP never mentioned anything about R1 being off-balance after being knocked off the bag.

What I "see" from the OP is that there was some contact between F6 and R1 that really did nothing to affect R1's attempt to advance.
