Question:
Racing toward third base on a triple,
the runner collides with an umpire who is in the base line. The runner
falls and is tagged out. Is the batter out or does he get to take
3rd base?
Answer:
Answer posted in a week or so.
Yes, the
batter is out. When a base runner collides with an umpire, this does not
constitute interference and the ball remains in play.

Question:
A hard grounder is booted by the
first baseman and rolls into foul territory. The fielder, stepping
across the base line to retrieve the ball, collides with the
batter-runner, who reaches base safely.
Does this constitute interference by
the runner?
Answer:
No.
The fielder had a chance to field the ball before the contact.

Question:
One out, runner on 1st. Batter hits a quick
one-hopper to the 1st baseman, who tags the bag and then tags R1 who
is now standing on the bag when tagged. Who is out?
- The batter
- The runner on first (R1)
- Both the batter and R1 base runner
Answer:
The
batter.
** Note, if the 1st baseman had tagged the
runner first (even though he was on the base) and then tagged the
bag, it would be a double play.
