I have a tough time wrapping my head around this one...
Batter foul tips a pitch back to the catcher. Catcher catches the foul tip and the home plate umpire signals that. Meanwhile runner on first advances to second. After the runner reaches second she turns around to the field umpire and asks if it was a foul ball. Field umpire confirms that it was a foul ball. Runner begins to return to first and home plate umpire calls the runner out.
So help me out - is the runner out ?
