Question
Guest RJB
Minor league professional baseball: Runner on 2nd, 0 outs. Batter hits routine ground ball straight at first baseman. The right handed first baseman easily fields the ball, trots a few steps and steps on first base. The batter runner is running hard but is easily out by 20 or more feet. The runner from 2nd has advanced to third. After touching first base the first baseman continues his trot toward home, along the first baseline with the ball in his mitt. The batter runner continued his sprint even after being put out and his leg collides with the first baseman's mitt about 15 feet prior to first base. The ball is dislodged from the mitt, rolls into right field and the runner from 2nd scores. Voluntary release, interference, play on, dead ball, batter runner safe also?
