Daughter plays middle school ball played by high school rules in SC. Runner on 3rd , ball gets by the catcher the batter trys to get out of the way and gets out of the batters box half way towards the on deck circle. To make a long story short the batter is hit by the thrown ball from the catcher to the plate trying to make a play. What is the ruling? You can't make the batter run completely off the field. The umpire called the batter out and sent the runner back to third is this correct.
A little side note. What is the ruling on a base coach getting out of the way. I coach third alot and not quite sure what the ruling is on that. I try to be sportsman like and get out of the way but sometimes these kids take funny angles at the ball and almost run you over.
