Safety Bunt a Hit?

2016/7/15 16:43:33


Question
NCAA Women's Fastpitch Softball Game.

1 out.  Runners on 2nd and 3rd.
Batter receives "suicide" bunt signal from coach.
Batter successfully bunts.
Runner at third treated it more like a safety bunt and doesn't advance.
Fielder gets ball cleanly and holds the ball so runner from third does not score.
Bases are now loaded.

Is this considered a hit, Fielder's Choice, or Sacrifice bunt?

Answer
Sonny,


Since there was no throw made, this is a hit.  If they would have attempted to get the runner out and failed, hit.  If they went to first for the out, sac.  If they would have attempted to get the runner out and she was safe on an error, sac.  Runner thrown out at home, FC.
