RULE 9, SECTION 5 f. When a fielder contacts or catches a fair batted or thrown ball with her cap, mask, glove or any part of her uniform while it is detached from its proper place on her person. EFFECT: Sec. 5f: The baserunners would be entitled to three bases if a batted ball or two bases if a thrown ball; and in either case, the base runners may advance further at their own risk. If the illegal catch or touch is made on a fair hit ball, which in the judgement of the umpire, would have cleared the outfield fence in flight, the runner shall be awarded a home run. PLAY — R1 is on second and R2 is on first when B3 hits ground ball to F6. F6 fields the ball, steps on second for a force on R2, advancing from first, then throws wildly to F3. F3 tosses her mitt into the air striking the ball. The ball bounces into the dugout. RULING — R2 is out. Both R1 and B3 are awarded two bases each from their position when the detached mitt of F3 touched the thrown ball. In this situation or any other situation where detached glove or mitt touches a ball, prior to the ball becoming dead because of going into a dead ball area, the rule which applies to detached player equipment prevails. If the detached glove or mitt touches the ball after the ball has become dead by going into a dead ball area, the ruling governing detached player equipment has no bearing. g. When the ball is in play and is overthrown (beyond the boundary lines) or is blocked. EFFECT: Sec. 5g: All runners will be awarded two bases and the award will be governed by the position of the runners when the ball left any fielder’s hand. EFFECT: When a fielder loses possession of the ball, such as on an attempted tag, and the ball enters the dead ball area or becomes blocked, all runners are awarded one base from the last base touched at the time the ball entered the dead ball area or became blocked. If a runner touches the next base and returns to her original base, the original base she left is considered the “last base touched” for purposes of an overthrow award. PLAY (1) — R1 and R2 are on second and first bases respectively. B3 hits the ball to F6, who muffs the ball, recovers it, then throws late to F3 in an attempt to retire B3. R1 and R2 reach third and second bases respectively. R1 attempts to advance to home, thereby drawing a throw from F3 which goes into the dugout. RULING — R1 and R2 are awarded home and B3 is awarded third. PLAY (2) — R1 on first. B2 hits ground ball to F6. F6 flips the ball to F4 for force out on R1. Relay to F3 from F4 goes into the dugout area. B2 has already passed first base before relay is made. RULING — B2 is awarded third base. Award of bases is governed by the position of each runner and the last base she has touched at the time of the throw. — 58 —
PLAY (3) — No runners on base. B1 hits ball to F10, who throws ball to F3 to force out B1. B1 is already past first base when ball is released by F10. The ball bounces past F3 and into the stands. RULING — B1 is awarded third base. PLAY (4) — A thrown ball hits a bat or glove lying on the ground (other than the bat discarded by the batter). RULING — (1) If the bat or glove belongs to the team at bat, it is ruled interference and the player being played on shall be declared out. The ball is dead and all baserunners must return to the last base touched prior to the thrown ball hitting the bat or glove. (2) If the bat or glove belongs to the team in the field, it becomes a blocked ball and the overthrow rule applies. (3) If no apparent play is obvious, all runners will return to the last base touched at the time the ball hits equipment of the offensive team. h. When a fair batted fly ball leaves the playing field in fair territory, without touching the ground or going through the fence, it shall entitle the batter to a home run, unless it passes out of the grounds at a distance less than the prescribed fence distances from home plate (as outlined in Rule 2, Section 1), in which case, the batter would be entitled to only two bases. The batter must touch the bases in regular order. The point at which the fence or stand is less than the distances listed (Rule 2, Section 1) from home plate shall be clearly marked for the umpire’s information. PLAY — A fair batted ball touches (a) F9’s glove and goes over the fence in fair territory, (b) F9’s glove and goes over the fence in foul territory, (c) the top of a fence railing and goes over, (d) the top of a fence railing bounding to F9’s glove and then over the fence in fair territory. RULING — A home run in (a), (c) and (d), and a two-base hit in (b). i. When a fair ball that bounds or rolls over, under, or through a fence; bounds out of play unintentionally off a defensive player; or a fair ball that bounds over, under or through any other obstruction marking the boundaries of the playing field. EFFECT: Sec. 5i: The ball is dead and all baserunners are awarded two bases from the time of the pitch. j. (1) When a live ball is unintentionally carried by a fielder from playable territory into dead ball territory, the ball becomes dead. All baserunners are awarded one base from the last base touched at the time “fielder” enters dead ball territory. NOTE: A fielder carrying a live ball into the dugout or team area to tag a player is considered to have unintentionally carried it there. — 59 — RULE 9, SECTION 5
