Writing The Baseball Quizzes Americans Won’t Write

This indecipherable quiz seems to have been written by a confused foreigner:

With a man on first, the batter lines a grounder [???] to second. The second-baseman fields the ball with his bare hand and, without transferring the ball to the glove, tags the bag [Which bag? How many on base?], then tosses it wide to first. The first-baseman gets the ball with his bare hand [What?], then tags the runner with his glove (still holding the ball in his bare hand). What’s the call?

My call is to the FBI, Vladimir. Tell your spy master he gave you a lousy cover. Next question after the jump!

With a run-man on second, and less than three outs, the pitcher tosses the ball to the catcher, but the ball is intercepted by the hitter’s bat. He bounces a fly ball to second. The short-stop kicks the ball with his leg, angering the runner-batter, who refuses to proceed to the next base square. The umpire, using his bare hands, mind you, whistles the ball dead. How many points score?

Okay, I made that one up.
