Baseball Rule Clarifications on Third Strike Plays
If the ball touches any part of the batsman's persons during a third strike the batter is out. Base runners cannot advance on a missed third strike. The infield fly rule does not apply with a runner on first and fewer than two outs. A runner returning to first after reaching second is retired on appeal or by tag. Credit for a stolen base is not awarded when an overslide results in a retirement.
Baseball Rules Pointers for Infield Play and Stolen Bases
The text outlines base running rules and tagging outs. It notes that a ball becomes dead when a batsman’s person is contacted and the infield fly rule does not apply with a runner on only first. It states runners on first and second or first second third with less than two outs, and that a runner can be retired by being touched with the ball or by holding it on the base he was entitled to occupying second. It also clarifies that overrunning a base on a steal attempt does not earn a stolen base.
