Ok here you go for the scenario.
two strikes no runners on no outs. Pitcher throws pitch, pitch is so far outside catcher misses ball but defelcts it to the right side of the backstop. Ump regardless calls STRIKE THree. Batter has presence to recognize dropped ball and begins to run to first. Catcher scrambles and fields ball along dugout fence (ie way to the right). First basemen sees catcher way to the right and lines up outside the baseline with foot onthe Safety base. Runner seeing firstbasemen veers to the left and heads for the white base. Catchers throw beans runner in the head as she is tagging white base.
Whats the call? safe or out?
(in the game the home plate ump called the player safe. Opposing coach protested to first base ump. After 10minute ump conference the umps reversed the call saying the base runner ahd interfered because they were out of the base path)
