Overthrows

 Live and Dead Balls 

• If an overthrown ball hits the fence and remains on the field, the ball remains live and in play.  
• If an overthrown ball hits any dugout equipment or goes out of play, the ball is dead and the runners take their appropriate bases: two bases from where they were at the time of the thrown ball’s release.  
• If an overthrown ball hits a coach on the offensive team, the ball is dead and no extra bases are awarded.
