1. The batter hits the ball back to the pitcher, making the pitcher jump. The ball deflects off the pitching plate and bounces into foul territory between home and 1B where the catcher retrieves it.
A. Foul ball
B. Fair ball
C. Live ball
D. Do-over
2. The bases are loaded with 1 out. The batter hits a pop fly in the direction of the first baseman. The umpire invokes the infield fly rule. No fielder makes an attempt to catch the ball, which lands near the first baseman and spins back where it hits the batter/runner who is running toward 1B in fair territory. The catcher now grabs the ball and throws to 3B to retire R1 who is off the bag when tagged. Is this a double play?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Maybe
D. None of the above
3. It is the leadoff batter's turn to bat, but the #2 batter bats out of order and hits a double. The #3 batter comes to bat and the pitcher commits an illegal pitch without an actual pitch being thrown. The defense appeals the #2 batter for batting out of order.

B. The #2 batter is out
C. Nobody is out

B. 2 outs, the runner that was on 2B must return to 2B
C. 3 outs, 1 run scores
D. 3 outs, no runs score
5. With one out, bases loaded and the score tied in the bottom of the seventh, the batter walks on four pitches bringing in the winning run. The batter joins in the celebration near the pitcher's plate and is reminded to go to 1B by a coach. The umpire rules all runners safe once the batter-runner reaches 1B. The defense appeals (a) the batter was out of the base path, (b) the batter was aided by a coach while the ball was in play, and (c) the batter did not go directly to 1B.
