Today's Question

 

B1 lays down a bunt up the first base line. F2 fields it and throws to first in an attempt to retire B1. As B1 is running to first he is straddling the base line, with his right foot in foul territory and his left in fair territory. The throw goes just over his left shoulder and the first baseman ducks and misses the throw. The umpire should:

a. Allow the ball to remain alive since the throw did not hit the runner

b.    Call the batter runner out for interference since he was in fair territory and obstructed the view of the first baseman
