what is the rule per NSA? I was told by an older experienced ump a few years back that the runner must be making an concerted effort to run to 2nd to be tagged out , not just turn into fair territory. Got it called the other way tonight and the ump made a big stink about it. Just wondering what the real rule is. From the playnsa.com website:
Sec. 8 The baserunner is out:
i. When the batter-runner legally overruns 1st base, attempts to run to 2nd base, and is legally touched while off the base.
Sec. 9 Baserunner is not out:
g. When a batter-runner overruns 1st base after touching it and makes no attempt to advance to the next base.
