Rule 10.05 to 10.06
94
(b) The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a:
(1) runner is forced out by a batted ball, or would have been forced out except for
a fielding error;
(2) batter apparently hits safely and a runner who is forced to advance by reason
of the batter becoming a runner fails to touch the first base to which such
runner is advancing and is called out on appeal. The official scorer shall
charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit;
(3) pitcher, the catcher or any infielder handles a batted ball and puts out a
preceding runner who is attempting to advance one base or to return to his
original base, or would have put out such runner with ordinary effort except
for a fielding error. The official scorer shall charge the batter with a time at
bat but no hit;
(4) fielder fails in an attempt to put out a preceding runner and, in the scorer?s
judgment, the batter-runner could have been put out at first base; or
Rule 10.05(b) Comment: Rule 10.05(b) shall not apply if the fielder merely looks toward or feints
toward another base before attempting to make the putout at first base.
(5) runner is called out for interference with a fielder attempting to field a batted
ball, unless in the scorer?s judgment the batter-runner would have been safe
had the interference not occurred.
