8. Some Pointers
Errors: If the ball touches the fielders glove, if its bobbled on the field. Exception is when it’s a hard hit.
Infield Fly Rule: "By the book" with less than 2 outs, runners on 1st and 2nd or bases loaded a fair fly ball to the infield that can be caught by an infielder inc. the pitcher or catcher with ordinary effort is an "infield fly".  The batter-runner is out and the ball remains alive.  Runners may advance at their own risk.
