NFHS rules: Batter bunts ball and runs to first base. How far to the left of the chalked base line can a runner run before it's considered interference by the runner on a throw to 1B? I realize they have to be in the 3 foot area at the 60 ft mark. It seems like some runners are running way to...
Ball hit/bunted and lands in fair portion of batter's box. Batter does not touch the ball. Is the ball ruled fair or does the batter's box area cause it to be ruled foul?
NFHS rules. Runner from 2B comes to home plate. Home plate ump rules catcher obstructed runner. What is the penalty? Does the run count or is dead ball declared and runner sent back to 2B? Where is ruling found in NFHS rulebook? Thanks.
High school game. Bases loaded, 2 outs. Catcher drops strike 3. Could she touch home plate for the force on R3 for the third out or does she have to tag batter/throw to 1B for the third out?

How do you score a hit ball that is a slow roller or routine ground ball that goes on either side of an infielder and is not touched by the infielder? I understand if a ball goes through the legs it's an error. Would you score this a hit or error? Thanks.
Anyone suggest a good website that has daily college scores from each division? I went to NCAA.org softball site. Our local Division 2 college played this weekend and no scores were posted. Thanks.
