Rule 8 Section 6
Batter is Out if...
ART. 11 . . . The runner is struck with a fair untouched batted ball while not in contact with a base
and before it passes an infielder, excluding the pitcher, or if it passes an infielder and any fielder
has an opportunity to make an out.
It is a judgment call by the umpire. Could F6 still have made a play on the ball? That is when the arguing ensues and someone will probably be getting tossed out of the game.

Thanks MrGeek. I know what you mean about the arguing. It's just a game until the DD is R1. Then it becomes more.
What about R2? Is she safe at 2nd?
