Did the thrown ball hit the runner during the game?
Yes, the thrown ball hit the runner during the game.
Is the ball alive or dead when hitting a runner in fair territory?
It depends. Is the ball being thrown or is it hit. If it's hit off the bat and hits a base runner it's a dead ball and the runner is out if the ball has not passed a fielder. If the ball has already passed a fielder then the ball is live and the runner is not out. It is as if it never happened. If it hits the runner when it is thrown it is perceived as if it never hit the runner.
If a runner is hit with the ball by a miss throw by to the second base man is the runner out?
No. To force an out, the defensive player has to touch the runner with the ball or touch the runner with the glove while the ball is in the glove. A thrown ball touching a runner does not count.
Has a runner ever been hit by a thrown ball during a baseball game?
Yes, runners have been hit by thrown balls during baseball games. This can happen when a fielder throws the ball to a base in an attempt to tag out the runner, but accidentally hits the runner instead.
Can a base runner be thrown out if a foul ball is hit?

Can he advance after he is hit by a thrown ball if it goes out of bounds?
NO... anyball landing foul is a foul ball and is a dead ball ...Clarification:the way i read this question is "if a thrown ball hits a runner and goes out of play can the runner advance?" -- If this is the question you are asking, then, yes, a runner can advance on a thrown ball that goes out of play. Runner will be allowed to advance 1 base after the ball goes out of play. The only time this wouldn't be the case is if the runner was running to 1st and the ball hits him and it is deemed interference, he would then be called out.The question is a bit unclear, so it really depends on what you are asking
Runner on third taking a lead is hit by a thrown ball from catcher while in fair territory is he safe or out?
He is out for interfering with a thrown ball while running out of the baseline. The same is true with a runner running to first base. Tom Seaver said that when he saw a runner running to first in fair territory he would throw the ball into his back to get the quick out.
Is the batter out or safe if a base runner gets hit by a ball?
No. If a fielder has a legitimate opportunity to make an attempt at the ball, but the ball passes the fielder and then touches the runner, he is not out. The rules state a runner is out when a batted ball touches him before it passes a fielder.
How would you score this if the batter hits a ball the drops in center field but the runner at first is thrown out at second?
If the runner at second is out by being forced out, the batter is not given a base hit .... the play is ruled the same as if the ball was hit to an infielder that threw to second to force the runner. If the runner at second is out by being tagged because they rounded the base too far, the batter is given a base hit.
If a base runner is hit by the ball is it a dead ball?
No. Runner is part of the field, therefor the ball is in play and the runner is out.
If a thrown ball hits a base runner if he safe or out?
safe
Is the runner alllowed to advance after he is hit by a thrown ball and it goes out of bounds?
YES... the ball is always live till the umpire stops play ... if the ball goes into the dugout the runner get one (1) base if the goes into the stands the runner take two (2) bases... if there's a runner on base they take the next open base...
