If there is a fly ball and a runner crosses the commit line before a fielder plays the ball, he or she will be called out if the ball is caught because he or she cannot tag up at third base. Sliding is allowed, but not at all bases. Runners may slide feet first into second or third base.
Runners may not slide into first base or the safety base at home plate . Runners may not slide head first into any base on the field. If a runner' momentum has caused him or her to overrun a base, he or she may *** back in a head first manner to regain possession of that base. Violation of these rules will result in the player being called out.
Runners must give themselves up, get out of the way, or slide when a play is being made at a base. A runner who moves more than 2 steps out of the base path to avoid a tag shall be called out. Runners must avoid fielders attempting to field a hit. If a fielder is blocking the base/in the base path while waiting to receive a throw, fielder interference will be called and the runner will be safe.
