Can someone remind me of the purpose of the line running parallel to the first-base line? ...
Let's say a right-handed hitter bunts and then runs directly toward first base. She is struck by a ball thrown by the catcher while still inside the foul line but having taken a direct path from point of bunt to first base. Is she (batter/runner) protected?
