back with another rules question. runner on 1st, batter/runner hits ground ball between first and second and hits the runner, runner continues to run bases and defense attempts to make a play on her allowing the batter/runner to reach third base. defensive teams coach argues that it should have been called dead ball as soon as it hit the runner. umpire tells him that the play stands because after she was hit, they(defense), attempted to make a play. what is the correct call, we play by usssa rules.
