Actually Read the Rules
Need to know how to score the following.
Batter-runner makes contact on pitch and drops ball into shallow right field, behind first base. Right fielder and second baseman collide in pursuit of the ball. Ball drops untouched into the hole in right field behind first base. Batter-runner cleared first before ball dropped. I was coaching first and sent her to second as I saw it was dropping due to the collision.
Result:
Runner on 2nd
Ump called time
Injuries were evaluated
Right field went to bench
Question: Is this an error and no hit for the batter?
or
Is this a hit since there was no contact with a fielder's glove?
or
Is this automatically an error due to the collision?
Thanks in advance!
