Two Game Situations
1. With bases loaded and one out, the batter grounds toward the shortstop, but the ball hits the runner between 2nd and 3rd base. The field umpire correctly signals that the runner is out. The ball ricochets off the runner's leg to the shortstop -- who throws to second base to force out the runner from 1st base. Double play and inning over?
2. With bases loaded and one out, the batter bunts the ball high into the air just in front of home plate. Just as the catcher is about the catch the ball, the catcher purposely separates his hands and the ball lands untouched in fair territory. The catcher picks up the ball, tags home for an easy force out, and throws to 1st base for another easy force out. Double play and inning over? Was this an infield fly or an intentionally dropped ball (or both) -- so the batter is out, but the runners were not required to run?
