Runner is hit with a ball

GreenSuedeBlue · #1 (**permalink**) Fri May 08, 2009, 02:54pm

A baserunner is on third and the batter hits a liner down the third base line that hits the runner and rolls foul. The ump called it foul and the coaches and crowd were upset about the call. I have 3 questions. Should he have called it dead ball? Does it matter if the third baseman is charging in to field a faked bunt? Is there a difference if the runners foot is on or off the base?This happened at Pickens High School earlier this year.

First off, I wouldn't specifically mention the place where it occurred so prominently in the post.

Second, there's a lot missing here. Was the ball in fair or foul territory when it hit the runner?

Out of curiosity.. what was wrong with the posts location mention?
Its not like the OP included the phone number of the batter.

The only reason to call it foul was if it hit the runner in foul territory. Speaking ASA, if hit the runner in fair territory it is either a live or dead ball. By your post I will assume the ball passed F5. If no other infielder could make and out (like F6) then it is a live ball. If F6 could make an out then it s/b a dead ball with the runner out and the BR put on 1st.

I've always considered it bad style.

That's just a nasty rumor.

Actually, I don't know what it is about this post, but something doesn't seem right. Maybe it's all the troll activity in the other threads...

This is absolutely NOTHING at this point. Where is the ball when it contacts the runner?

Oh, well, **** happens!

He did if he said "FOUL".

On whether it was fair or foul? No.

to answer the question(s) if the ball was in fair territory and the runner did nothing intentional to interfere .. its a live ball. one foot or two on the bag makes no difference. NFHS

Not with the runner in contact with the base

Hey GreenSuedeBlue...was it a day game or night game? That would make a difference.
