The runner is out, the ball is dead,all runners return to their original base, and the batter receives a base hit
AnswerThe batter is awarded a singleAdded information: This was recently (past few years) changed. Now, the batter is awarded a base hit only if the official scorer judges that the ball would have been a hit had it not touched a runner. Otherwise the batter is on base with a fielder's choice!
improvement:
The official scoring is single, and the runner is out (unassited putout awarded to the nearest fielder)

∙ 13y agoIf a play follows the interference, the manager of the offense may advise the plate umpire that he elects to decline the interference penalty and accept the play. In this case the interference is disregarded and normal scoring applies.
If the manager elects to take the interference penalty, it is scored as an error charged to the catcher.
If the batter reaches first base on a hit, an error, a base on balls, a hit batsman, or otherwise, and all other runners advance at least one base, the play proceeds without reference to the interference and normal scoring applies.

∙ 11y agoIt depends on where the batter is in the base path.
First base is the only base where there is a running lane for the batter. This is a 3' wide lane to the right of the foul line, off the playing field. If the fielder throws the ball to first base for the putout and the ball hits the runner and prevents a catch by the fielder guarding the base:
-- if the runner was running within or to the right (as one looks from home to first) of the runners lane, the ball is dead and the runner is granted first base. This is true even if he falls down and is unable to make it to first before the ball is picked up and relayed to the first baseman.
-- if the runner is running outside the runner's lane (usually to the left), and is hit by the thrown ball, he is called out. In fact, if it is a quality throw, he could be called out even if he is not hit with the throw, if in the umpire's judgement he was attempting to interfere with the fielder's attempt to field the throw.

Is the batter out if he steps on home plate after he hits the ball?
No. Home plate is considered fair territory and is treated as any other part of the field. However, if the batter is stepping on home while making contact with the ball, he is out for having touched the ball in fair territory. ---------- The above is not necessarily true. The rule says if the batter has all of one or both feet out of the batter's box when making contact with the pitch, he's out. But it's certainly possible for a batter's toe to be on the plate while his heel is on the inside line of the batter's box, and he would be legal. Next time you watch a Major League game, look for the inside line of the batter's box. In most ballparks, they don't chalk the inside line. Why? Because then it's up to the umpire to decide if, in his judgment, the batter's entire foot was out of the batter's box when he made contact with the pitch. It makes for fewer discussions with the Managers. And by the way, if the entire foot is out of the batter's box, and the batter makes contact with the pitch, he's out, whether he hits the ball fair or foul.
What are volleyball fouls?
There are two main ones. During your service if you step on or over the line then a foul is called. Also,if you don't release the ball 5 seconds after the ref's whistle to begin the service you are called a foul. When the foul is called for both of these errors, the other team gains possession of the ball. Also there is another more complicated rule. If you throw the ball in the air and realize it is a bad toss you don't want to hit then you are allowed to let the ball hit the ground, but only ONCE per that rotation of serves. The next time that you come around the court to serve, you may drop it only once again. Another foul called is when you serve before the ref's whistle. Depending on the ref, you will either get a second chance or the other team gains possession of the ball.
