| April 1, 2016 Steve in Tucson | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter Runner reaching first base Referring to Rule 8.4 (1) - Batter Runner reaching first base: The wording "his touch of only the bag in foul territory will not result in an out" appears to leave some room for interpretation. So . . . 1) While holding the ball, the defensive player's foot slid across the white base onto the orange (in foul territory)base. Should the batter-runner be called out or safe? 2) Because the defensive player contacted the batter-runner when his foot slid across to the orange bag, does this change the ruling? |
