In Situation 9.3.2 B, who gets credited for the out when B1 is called out for not touching first base?

In this scenario, B1 is called out for failing to touch first base as they run toward that base. The credit for the out is attributed to the defensive player who made the play, in this case, F3.

F3’s role is crucial here because they are positioned at first base and are responsible for receiving the ball to record the out. When B1 neglects to touch first base, F3 is the player effectively involved in the defensive action that leads to the out being called. The official scoring recognizes F3’s position and involvement, awarding them the credit.

This situation illustrates the significance of base-running responsibilities and the role of defenders in making plays that lead to outs. The other options do not pertain to the play directly related to the base running violation, hence they are not credited with the out.
