Suicide squeeze and the ball hits the batter and the runner on third is barreling down the line but the ball hits the batter?
If a pitched ball hits the batter, it is dead, and all runners must return to their bases.
Can a runner on 3rd score when a batter hits ball in fair play in front of plate and is out when ball hits her?
If the batter/runner is contacted by a fair ball when they are out of the box they are out and the ball is dead thus no runners can advance. Given this the answer to you question is no they can not score.
Is it a dead ball When the ball comes off the bat and hits the plate?
No, the ball is not dead and the batter may attempt to hit it.
If a pitched ball hits catcher and goes out of play what happens to the runners?
It is ruled a dead ball and each base runner would advance one base.
If an umpire or catcher throws ball past pitcher after a new ball is used or if a ball is checked by ump and given back to catcher can baserunners run?
An umpire is not supposed to throw the ball back to the pitcher with runners on base. If he does the ball is dead from the time he touches it to the time the pitcher has the ball on the pitching mound. So the runners cannot advance.
If a runner is on third and the batter hits himself with the ball and the ball is dead can the runner go to next base?
No. You answered your own question. The ball is dead if it comes into contact with the batter. Play should immediatly halt. I can see in softball, if the fourth ball is pitched and it hits the player, and is counted as a ball, then both runners would move. Of course if the runners on base are forced runs. Aside from that. I cant see a scenario where the runner would move bases based on a dead ball.
Is it a base hitif batted ball hits umpire in infieldcalled a dead ball?
Yes. Ball is dead. Batter is awarded 1st and all runners advance 1 base. Rule 5.09 (f)
If a batter hits a fair ball and fails to touch first base are the base runners ahead of her allowed to score?
Yeah they can. They can only stay put if the ball is caught as a fly.
What if attempting to bunt batter misses ball then ball hits batter can runners advance?
If a better puts out his bat for a bunt and does not pull it back, the pitch counts as a strike (as long as the ball does not hit the bat of course). It does not matter if the ball is in the strike zone or is 10 ft outside of it. Given that it is a strike, the runners do not advance, although they can attempt to steal.
What is a full play in baseball?
There is no such phrase in baseball as "full play." The closest I can think of would be a "Triple Play" where two runners are on and the batter hits the ball and both runners and the batter are put out on the same play.
