Yes.
yes but only if the defence hasent touched the ball yet if they have the the runner can still be counted as a single
nope, as long as you get the out no runs count.
Yes. On a tag play, if a runner crosses home plate before another runner is tagged for the third out the run counts.
Its still an out. If the runner is thrown out before reaching the next base it doesn't matter where the ball was hit. In tr same scenario say the barter hits a ball off the outfield wall but the runner at second twists an ankle and hits the ground and is unable to advance, it'd still be a force play and no hit. To answer the question it is scored as a fielders choice or 7-5 FC. The batter is charged with an at bat and not credit with a hit.
My son heard me read this question out loud and immediately piped up with six. Then he said five and went back to say six again. He is not 100% certain, but would love to hear from others on what they think is the correct answer. OK, Crystal. My pipes are warmed up and ready to go. The answer would be 6 and here is one scenario: First batter hits a triple and is thrown out at the plate trying for an inside the park home run. No runners on and one out. Second batter hits a triple and is thrown out at the plate trying for an inside the park home run. No runners on and two outs. Third batter hits a single. Runner on first and two outs. Fourth batter hits a single. Runners on first and second and two outs. Fifth batter hits a single. Bases loaded and two outs. Sixth batter hits a ball that strikes one of the runners. The runner is declared out and the batter is credited with a single. Six hits, no runs.
3 hits to load bases followed by 2 pick off outs. Then 2 more hits to re-load bases equals five total. The 6th hit comes when a hit ball then hits a runner. The runner is called out but the batter gets credited with a hit.
The runner is out he/she would have to be in foul territory and on the bag.
No. Runner must reach 1st safely.
dead ball, the runner is out and the putout goes to the closest fielder...the batter gets credit for a hit and if there are other runners that are forced to advance by the batter getting first (in this case, a runner on first), he gets to advance also...if there are 2 outs, the batter still gets credit for a hit but the inning is over
yes it is legal
No, because the third out was made on the same play. It is no different than if the batter hits a ground ball to the shortstop or any other infielder and is thrown out at first base for the third out. However, if there are two outs and there is a runner on third and the batter hits a single into left field but is thrown out at second when attempting to turn the play into a double and the runner on third makes it home before the third out at second is recorded, the run does count. Hope that isn't too confusing.
When the ball hits the baserunner it is a dead ball at the runner the ball hit is out. The batter is credited with a single. Since the batter is given a single, any baserunner required to advance will advance, however, no runners ahead of the runner who was out will advance: i.e bases loaded, the runner at 2nd is hit by the ball, the runner at 2nd is out, the runner at 1st goes to 2nd and the batter goes to first. the runner at 3rd does not get to advance, he will stay at 3rd, so the bases will remain loaded runners at 2nd and 3rd, -- the ball hits the guy at 3rd base (while he is in fair territory), runner at 3rd is out, runner at 2nd returns to 2nd, and batter goes to first, you now have runners on 1st and 2nd hope this helps
