Q #6: The batter hits a hard ground ball down the third base line. The ball hits the runner in fair territory--but the runner is standing directly on third base at the time. Is the runner out? Or, is the base a safe haven in this instance?
A #6: The bases are in fair territory. A runner is out when hit by a fair batted ball while touching a base, except when hit by an infield-fly or after the ball has passed a fielder and no other fielder had a play on the ball.
