Line Drive Single
The batter hits a soft line drive that passes through the infield, but then dies before it can go much further, and hits grass/turf— either right in front of a fielder, or in a spot where said fielder has to do some jogging to cut the ball off before it gets past them. In this case, the batter will reach first base safely for a single1, and that’s going to be that.
On a single, any runners already on will be able to move up by at least one base, if not more. A runner on third will score almost automatically. Depending on where the ball is hit, the speed and skill of the outfielders, as well as the speed of the runner, a runner on second may try to score, and a runner on first may attempt to stretch for third. In both cases, the defense will often go after those runners in an attempt to throw them out. This can lead to outs at those bases (or the plate), and in the meantime, the batter/runner who started the whole chain of events may try to take second while everyone else is distracted. If they succeed, they are still only credited with a single, with the extra base being chalked up to an advance on the throw.
