Asking this only about proper scoring of the play, not the rule itself:
Batter hits a little flare behind the third baseman. Shortstop makes a diving effort. Ball deflects off her glove, into foul territory and out of play.
I know the rule is two bases. That's what happened. Batter ended up at second.
But how is this scored? Single and E6 (because it went out of play)? The batter-runner was on her way to second by the time the ball trickled out of play. Had it just hit the fence and not rolled past it, it would've been a double. But I'm thinking since, technically, she was awarded second on the dead ball, she only gets a single. And even though the shortstop didn't do anything wrong, she probably gets penalized for the ball going out of play.
