ASA 8-8-D Runner is not out when a runner is hit with a fair, untouched batted ball that has passed an infielder , excluding the pitcher, and, in the umpires judgement no other infielder had an opportunity to make an out.

FED the rule is 8-1-2-a effect 2 and is essentially the same wording.


Clerical correction. This should read "no other fielder". This was changed to allow for the possibility of F9. It is possible, but remember, it is the opportunity to make an out, not just make a play and the umpire SHOULD give this serious consideration before making either call.
