Softball rules:
Sec. 10. THE RUNNER IS NOT OUT.
d. When he is hit with a fair, untouched batted ball that has passed a fielder, excluding the pitcher, and in the umpire's judgement, no fielder had a chance to make an out.
m. When hit by a batted ball when touching his base, unless he intentionally interferes with the ball, or a fielder making a play.

Sec. 2. PROTESTS THAT WILL BE RECEIVED.
Protests that shall be received and considered include matters of the following types
a. Misinterpretation of a playing rule.
b. Failure of an umpire to apply the correct rule to a given situation.

Sec. 3. PROTESTS INVOLVING JUDGEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF RULE.
Protests may involve both a matter of judgement and the interpretations of a rule.
An example of a situation of this type follows:
With one out and the runners on second and third bases, the batter flied out. The runner on third tagged up after the catch, the player on second did not. The runner on third crossed the plate before the ball was played at second base
for the third out. The umpire did not allow the run to score. The questions as to whether the runners left their bases before the catch and whether the play at second was made before the player on third crossed the plate, are solely matters of judgement and are not protestable. The failure of the umpire to allow the run to score was a misinterpretation of a playing rule and was a proper subject for protest.
