Ever seen the BR run into the 3rd baseman on a bunt up the 1st base line?

Im not saying that's what happened here (not enough detail), but you can't let fielders start tackling B/Rs as they exit the box.

I don't need anymore information than what was presented. The 3rd baseman was fielding a bunt. The batter ran into her while in the act of fielding a fair batted ball. OUT! Its not "ordinary" for the runner to run into any defensive player fielding a batted ball. By the way, she didn't exit the box normally. She hesitated. Not that that really matters to me in this case. She still has to avoid F5.
