Reply to "batter hits runner with ball"

quote:

Second, the batter hitting a runner with a ball is the final line in the question of how many hits is it possible to get in one inning without scoring a run. The answer is six. The first two batters get hits, putting runners on first and second. The third batter gets a hit, but the runner at second is thrown out at the plate. Runners hold at first and second. The fourth batter gets a hit and the runner on second is again thrown out at home, with runners stopping at first and second. The fifth hitter lines a sharp single and the runner on second is forced to stop at third. The sixth batter gets a hit and makes the third out when his batted ball hits a runner. No runs and six hits. The only part I don't know about this question is how many LOB's would there be in this situation.
