SLOWNEZ Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Runners on 1st and 3rd, two outs Ground ball up the middle which hits the umpire who is standing behind the pitcher and in front of the second baseman. What's the call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadtimesfive Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I say ump is part of the field and defense has to make a play. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyblue Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ball is dead, runners forced to advance, advance. Batter gets 1st. You end up with bases loaded under this circumstance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks heyblue. The umps actually decided that both runners should advance and the batter got first. Seemed wrong to me but I wasn't sure.
