Question
Guest Lee Warburton
Stuation: a runner occupies first base with less than two outs; a ground ball is hit to the first baseman but the runner on first remains on the base and does not try to advance. The first baseman fields the ground ball, walks over an tags the runner standing on first base and then tags the base to force out the batter/runner. Is this a double play or does the runner standing on the base remain safe and only the batter/runner is out?
