Question
Guest 44lobo
USSSA sanctioned game - A line drive hits the runner standing on 2B. The ball ricochets to the 2B (fielder) who catches it in the air. Runner ruled safe as stayed in contact with the base. Hitter was ruled out as umpires considered the ball as never touching the ground and ball was still an line drive. Is this the right call?

If the base protected him, the ball wouldn't have hit him. 😉

Both calls were incorrect. The runner is out, the ball is dead, and the batter is awarded first base.

That was one slow line drive.
