Base award

[ALStripes17]

In an effort to educate myself:

7.05

(a) To home base, scoring a run, if a fair ball goes out of the playing field in flight and he touched all bases legally; or if a fair ball which, in the umpires judgment, would have gone out of the playing field in flight, is deflected by the act of a fielder in throwing his glove, cap, or any article of his apparel;

(f) Two bases, if a fair ball bounces or is deflected into the stands outside the first or third base foul lines; or if it goes through or under a field fence, or through or under a scoreboard, or through or under shrubbery or vines on the fence; or if it sticks in such fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines;

Yes, that is OBR's ruling as well.

I'm not saying that you and @ElkOil were wrong with regards to the FED verbiage. I was just employing a counterargument that contradicts all of baseball's holy inner sanctum.

The fun situation was for when a fielder touches a batted ball in flight in FOUL territory and it is deflected over the fence in FAIR territory :)

This one is obvious to me -- and an easy explanation.

Ive got a foul ball in that scenario.

And a 2 base award for the 'fair, leaves foul'

Well whatta ya' know.  

 

 

That is a good shrubbery.  I like the laurels, particularly.

 

Anyone?  Anyone?

 

From J/R:

 

C. Home run or Ground Rule Double

If a fair fly1 passes over the fence into DBT it is a home run (by definition, a four- 6.09d

base award) unless it is a ground rule double for one of the following reasons: 7.05a

(1) it is deflected by a fielder over the fence over foul DBT, or 6.09h

(2) it is deflected by a fielder over the fence over fair DBT but such

deflection occurs after the fly has struck the fence). 6.09g

 

FED is the same.
