| 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.

| I'm going with B. That sounds like the correct answer.

| C & D are incorrect runner on the base is never out as long as runner didn't intentionally interfere with the ball. i believe the fact that the F5 is playing behind controls the correct answer here. since the ball did not pass a fielder, the ball is dead, batter gets 1B and other runners hold their bag. this is B. if F5 is playing in front of the bag, the ball passes a fielder [assume no other fielder can make a play since the ball IS down the line] then A would be correct, ball is live and all runners advance at their own risk. the batter could also be thrown out at first base.

| B. The runner is protected by the base, so she is not out. Dead ball runners return to the base occupied before the pitch. Batter goes to first base.
