How Would You Call It...? ?

Question

Here's the last one for today. Runner on 2nd base with 1 out. The batter hit a HOT line drive back up the middle which reflects off the pitcher's mound and goes directly over the backstop behind homeplate. (Trust me I have seen it happen) What is your call?? 10 Points to the Correct Answerer!

Answer 1

Foul ball, to be a fair ball, the ball must stay in fair territory or stay in fair territory past 1st, 2nd, or 3rd base. It's a foul ball but that type of situation is very unlikely.

Answer 2

a ground rule double.  The runner from second scores, and the batter is awarded second.  :)

Ok, maybe a ground rule single.

Answer 3

Well depending on who the runner on second and the pitcher was then i would say a Dead Ball Single.

Answer 4

The runner on second gets third.  The batter gets first.  It's a dead ball when it goes out of play

Answer 5

Foul

Answer 6

dead ball double

Answer 7

Dead ball single

Answer 8

The ball was never in play because it never hit the ground or was caught by a defender.

Answer 9

i thought it was supossed to be a ground-rule double. I could be wrong though.

earlier this season, a batter hit a hard line drive that went off the pitchers foot and into the stands beside third base. the batter went to second...i just assumed it was a ground rule double call

Answer 10

If it hits the pitcher's rubber and goes untouched into foul territory, it's a foul ball.
