Runner hit with a batted ball

Question
Hi,

Using ASA rules a batter hits a ball and infielders miss the ground ball which were play inside the base path and the runner going to second got hit in the leg with the ball. Umpire called runner at 2nd out. Is this the correct call and why? Is USSSA the rule?

Thanks
Mike

Answer
Hi Mike,
In ASA if a fair batted ball passes an infielder (exc F1) strikes the runner, and no other fielder had an opportunity to make an out the runner would not be out. We play on.

If another fielder did have an opportunity to make an out we would have interference.

sorry I don't answer specific utrip rule questions
