Silly NCAA runner assistance rule...

Wide Slick - I mean Big Slick is right -

Such a funny, funny, man. Just remember, in the wilderness, no one can hear you scream (Steve and I will be together this weekend, and we are staying in a bed and breakfast far away from civilization).

Steve, we discussed a similar scenario earlier this year in which a runner and the batter were touched on the same homerun (not multiple touches of the batter). By rule, would this mean the warning is issued for the runner, and the out applied to the batter? The consensus between our group is exactly what Wade stated the timing of the warning.
