Baseball question to think about!

If he got to first before the ball hit the runner does he get credit for the single?

That batter is faster than a speeding bullet

another possibility would be the first two batters trying to stretch triples into inside the parkers and getting thrown out at home.

I was also able to confirm that the scenario of the 3rd out via runner being hit by the batted ball would indeed result in the batter being credited with a single regardless of whether or not he actually reaches first base prior to the runner being struck.

I think that scenario is not correct. If a batter gets a hit and gets tagged out at third, he does not get a double on the scorecard.

He does get credited with a double because he did reach second base safely.
