RULE 9. BASE RUNNING
Sec. 6. A batter-runner is awarded first base if:
A. He is a runner because of c, d or e of section 5
B. A fair ball, other than an infield fly, becomes dead and provided a preceding runner or retired runner does not interfere in such a way as to
prevent an obvious double play.
NOTE: Unless awarded first base as above, a batter-runner is entitled to first base only if the batter-runner reaches it before being tagged out, thrown out or called out for hitting an infield fly.
