1. Dead ball. The batter is the only out.
2. Live ball. The batter is out with strike three and the runner is out on the tag.
3. Dead ball. The batter is awarded first for being hit by a pitch.
4. Foul ball. The hands are part of the bat. The runner must return to first.

nothin' like fun at the ole' ball park!
Doesn't matter how many different answers you get; only one can be correct. Whenever a batter is contacted with a pitch, it is a dead ball. If the pitch is a strike, whether called or swinging, it is a dead ball strike. If that makes strike three, batter is out. No one else can be out or advance on a dead ball.
