Orange base

[Fred Garcia]

In Junior Little League Baseball  Orange base at 1st 

Question 1.

If the batter runner runs through the orange base and starts to return to first but there is an overthrow and runner decides to go to 2nd base.

Question is does the runner have to touch first base prior to advancing to 2nd.

Question 2.

If the batter runner hits the ball and runs through the orange base  safe and returns towards 1st and proceeds to lead off without retouching 1st base is this legal.

No and Yes. Don't make the safety bag complicated. The only thing that has changed with the introduction of a safety base is the B/R must use the orange portion when the initial play is at 1st base. Touching the orange base is the same as touching the white base if there was no safety base.

Ask yourself these same questions where there is no safety base at all.

It's the same answer.
