Catcher drops the 3rd strike. Batter - runner sprints to 1rst base. Runner on 3rd comes home. The catcher retrieves the ball and throws to 1rst. The ball bounces off the runner into fair territory. Umpire calls the runner out - dead ball. Is this correct?

I was watching the Dodger game the other night on TV. Russel Martin was at bat on ball four the pitch hit the catcher in the mask and bounded out of play into the Cubs dugout. Martin was only awarded first base! Shouldn't he have gotten second base?

Bases loaded, batter hits dribbler down third base line. Runner on third scores while third baseman waits on ball clearly rolling toward foul territory. Runner from second rounds third and stops the ball while fair with his foot. Does the run count?

2 outs, man on 2nd. Batter grounds to pitcher. Pitcher throws to 1st, pulling 1b off of bag. Ump calls him out. Runner on 2nd continues past 3rd to home. Coaches "appeal" the play to home ump, he rules batter was safe. Should runner go back to 3rd?

Can a pop up land in foul ground near home and then roll into fair ground to be a fair ball? Yes we know it would have to do so before reaching either first or third, but must it touch or land in fair ground first or not?
