Routine ground ball to 6F, force attempted @ 2B, 6-4. 4F pulled her foot off the base before she received the ball. Should this be ruled base hit or E4?
14.21.3 An error shall be charged against any fielder when she catches a thrown ball or fields a ground ball in time to put out any runner on a force play and fails to tag the base or the runner, including a batter-runner on a play at first base.
I'd have to say that if there is no put out, there can be no assist; however, a pitcher does get credit for a K on an uncaught third strike when the runner reaches first safely.
