If you hit a fowl then you don't have to run.If it's fair then you do. If your on base and it is a pop fly then you take a little bit of a led. So it all depends on where you are and how the ball is hit on wether or not you run when a softball is hit

Yes unless it was a foul, when a batter bunts it's usually for a sacrifice run for a team member who is on third base. It's used as a distraction to make them throw to first to get the runner out and not at home.

If you are unsure that you will make it in time before the catcher gets the ball and tags you. But if you are certain, you can just run over if. But as long as you touch the plate before, your safe.

No, unless there's is no force play involved. Meaning, you only tag if the runner is not forced to run to next base. But a runner is automatically out once tagged

What is bunting in softball?

To bunt in softball, you square your body to the pitcher. Once the pitcher releases the bal you try to hit it within 3-4 feet in front of you. Sometimes players bunt the ball to try to get on base. This is called bunting for a hit. Most other times bunting is used to move other runners over to the next base. This is called a sacrifice bunt. If the batter is called out, the at bat is not counted in their batting average. It is counted as a "SAC." A suicide squeeze is another way that the bunt is used. On the release of the pitch the runner at third base runs as if they are stealing the base. The runner at third base is trying to cross the plate before they are tagged out. This is also counted as a SAC if the batter is called out.
