My thought is that you should re-word the topic so that it is in English---you know, the brand of English that everyone uses.

That's probably true. It is a strange wording though.

As detailed by others, the NJ FED test is full of strange wording and questions this year. But,"The infracting team can never benefit from the umpire's awared", is perhaps the strangest.

C'mon guys...the author is from Jersey City. It made perfect sense to me :smachhead: !

And he's a teacher to boot.

I answered True. Can't tell you if it was right or not. Got a 96. Interested to see which two I got wrong. Maybe this was one of 'em.

if you call a balk and the pitcher delivers anyway and the kid hits a HR - might that qualify?

By god, you may have the exception.

Ball is dead on the balk call - HR "never happened." ;)

yeah but the team that hit the home run is sure gonna feel like the team that infracted (?) benefitted!

How about: Runner is hit by batted ball and is out. Batter is awarded first. Batter benefits from teammates infraction

The team doesn't. At best, they have a runner in the same spot as the previous one, with an additional out.

Sorta. There would be four possibilities absent the hit runner: 1. base hit; offense was penalized by getting an out they wouldn't have. 2. ground-out on BR; offense penalized by getting an out on a farther-advanced runner. 3. ground-out on hit runner; no one gained advantage. 4. double-play possibility; umpire has judgment to call the DP if he feels runner did it intentionally.
