ASA co-ed league. R1 is on 2nd base, tags up on a bobbled catch by F9 (who fell down) and advances to home. I couldn't believe F6 had the ignorance to say the PU was "making up rules". I know that you can advance on first contact, but I couldn't find the full rule text to cover questions about complex tag-up situations.
Is it contact by the FIRST fielder? F10 was apparently not a regular, F9 was playing 15' away to cover her area as well. I could see a ball being bobbled and caught by a fielder other than the one who made first contact.
Now apply similar situations in the infield. Line drive is deflected by F3 to F4. When can runners advance?
Thanks,
Jeff
