| This is not written in the Coach Pitch Rules but i do believe still applies the Coach Pitch. I have had it called this way last year in a tournament game.
When a fair ball strikes the person or clothing of the umpire or a baserunner is on fair ground. EFFECT: 9.2.e: If the ball hitsthe umpire or baserunner (a) after touching an infielder, the ball is in play (b) after passing an infielder other than the pitcher, the ball is in play (c) before passing an infielder, without being touched, the ball is dead. If the baserunner is hit, she is out and the batter is entitled to first base without liability of being put out. Baserunners not forced by the batter-baserunner must return to the base they had reached prior to the interference.
