Bratter-Runner VS Runner

[Dakota]

I've just had a "duh" moment.

You're asking if 8-8E applies to a batter-runner, right?

Hmmmm...

The ASA rule 1 definitions say a runner has reached 1B and a BR has not. Therefore, rule 8-8 does not apply to the BR.

Rule 8-2 contains no equivalent rule to 8-8E.

NFHS solves this problem with the following very useful statement, A runner is a player of the team at bat who has finished a time at bat and has not yet been put out, or has scored. The term includes the batter-runner and also any runner who occupies a base. (2-14-2)

Hmmmm...

I'll get back to you...
