Which base-running scenario is included in the softball module?

• A. Hitting a home run
• B. Pitching to strike out
• C. Base running from first to second
• D. Catching a fly ball

Answer: (C)

Base running involves decisions and movements by runners during live play as they try to advance around the bases. Moving from first to second is a classic base-running action that happens when a hit is in play and the runner must decide whether to take an extra base based on the ball’s hit, the defense’s play, and the runner’s speed. A softball base-running module would cover these kinds of scenarios where runners advance on plays, including advancing from first to second after a single. Hitting a home run is about the batter’s hit and scoring on the ball leaving the park, not the runner’s on-base decisions during live action. Pitching to strike out focuses on the pitcher and the defense’s goal to record an out, not advancing bases. Catching a fly ball is a defensive play by fielders, not base running.
