DoubleBaseQuestion

[DonP]

Ok, I want to thank each of you for your comments and expertise in helping me explore this question. I conclude that there is no penalty to the defense for steping on the orange and white base to get an out. I have concluded that the burden to use the correct base lies with the batter-runner who must use the orange base and must avoid contact with a fielder.
Rule 8 M 3 Effect (page 108) only deals with the BR.
Rule 8 M 9 Effect (page 108) only deals with the BR
There is no effect or penalty for the defense.

IF the defense is entirely on the orange then he is not on the white. The runner would be called safe because the defense did not have the white base for the out.
thanks!
