Just looked it up in OBR, it's 7.08f: If the runner is touching the base, only the batter is out. If the runner is not on the base, both are out.
Here is a "get out of jail free card". :cool:
Can't use OBR on this board.

Yes, if the interferer is off base.
Well, now we have another question or two. Was the runner behind F3 or was another fielder in postion to field the ball AND get an out?

Doh! I swear I even looked to make sure it was the right board.

I was under the impression that, ANY runner contacted by ANY batted ball that has not contacted a defensive player is immediately out?

Nope

ok let me rephrase. A base runner who is in fair territory, who is not in contact with a base, who is not already out; is hit by a batted ball that has yet to contact a defensive player. Is the runner out? if not please explain lol

Not always. Imagine the fielder in front of the runner, but misses the ball, and no other defensive player has an opportunity to make an out. Runner's safe, (unless the runner intentionally interfered with the ball.)

Forget that it's a fly ball. Rule on this the same way you would on a grounder. The answer to your question depends on where the fielder is and who else might have a play.

And what's the LOL for?

I'm laughing at myself because I really should Know this.
