Runner hit by batted ball...

[Alameda]

I know I could go tear up the book and answer this, but where's the fun in that?? =) (Seriously though, it's good for us rookies to think outload to help eachother on sitches).

Runner at third base. Batter lines a shot down the 3rd base-line. It hit's the runner at 3rd while he is in contact with the 3rd base bag. It bounces off his foot and goes fair.

I called fair ball, let play continue. (This is correct?)


Similar senerio:

This time it hits the runner at 3rd while his foot is -OFF- the bag, bounces off his foot and goes fair.

Do you kill the play and call the runner out? Or do you call the runner out and let play continue?


TYIA.
