2016/7/15 16:45:22


Question
If the first baseman knocks a batted ball into foul ground and tags the orange bag or outside bag is the runner safe or out.

Answer
Hi Richard,
Thank you for your question.  The batter-runner is out.

Here's the verbatim ASA Rule 8-2-M-4: "On any force out attempt from the foul side of first base the defense and the batter-runner may use either the white or contrasting color portion of the base."
