) Two outs and you are a runner on third
base. Your team is down by a run. The
ball is hit on the ground to short stop.
What do you as the runner do?
Get back to your base until fielder releases her throw to first
in case she fakes the throw
Run on contact
Hold your base hoping to have runners on 1st and 3rd
4) First and second no outs and the ball is
popped up to the pitcher. The umpire
signals the Infield Fly Rule. What does this mean?
Runners are out but batter gets first base
Batter is out and runners can safely advance to their next bases
Batter is out and runners can run at their own risk
5) You are playing first base. There are no outs and
nobody on. A ball is hit between third and short
and clears the infield for a base hit. You
immediately cover first base and hold as you watch the
play continue. The umpire signals obstruction with a
raised fist in the air and awards the batter second base.
Why?
The second baseman covered second base with her foot on top of the
base
The umpire made the wrong call there was no obstruction
You, the first baseman obstructed first base when there was no play and
prevented the runner from turning and proceeding to second base if she
chose
