Entry #: 3895091
With no outs, R1 on third base and R2 on second base, R1 is hit with a fair batted ball while standing on the base. R1 does not intentionally interfere. F5 is the closest defensive player and is playing behind third base. The correct ruling is:
a. The ball is live and runners may advance at their own risk.
b. The ball is dead immediately, R1 and R2 remain at their base and B3 is awarded first base.
c. The ball is live and R1 is declared out.
d. The ball is ruled dead immediately and R1 is out. B3 is placed at first base and R2 stays at second base.

we alredy discussed this one on November 1, 2011. Unless the rules have changed for 2012 I will state that they are the same as last year. If a baserunner gets hit while in contact with the base. And the baserunner does not interfere and the fielder is behind the runner. This is a dead ball and batter/runner is awarded first base and baserunners advance only if forced.
Make sure you rule this correctly as you will get a nice arguement.
