I have looked for this particular play but couldn't find anything (ASA rules). Situation: we are the defensive team. R1 on 2B, R2 on 1B, batter hits a Single to RF. R1 scores on the hit, R2 is attempting to advance to 3B. The throw tips off of F5 glove then hits the base coach in the foot, the ball enters the dugout.
The base coach was in the box, and the tipped ball wouldn't have entered into dead ball area if not for hitting the coaches foot.
What is the correct ruling?
