Baseball Rules Q and A From Early League Play
The base runner on third is not forced to advance. a runner on third may return to second before a tag. If two runners occupy the same base, the fielder should tag the runner who has advanced. A foul fly caught retires the batter and allows runners to advance if possible. With only first occupied, the infield fly rule does not apply. A pitcher may drop his hands only to reset a signal and then resume stance.
