A.R. 12.19.1.3: The batter-runner unintentionally kicks the ball that had deflected off the catcher who attempted to field a dropped third strike. RULING: Live ball, no interference.

Bret:
In the 2016 and 2017 NCAA Softball Rules Book it is 12.19.1. 2 and A.R. 12.19.1. 2.
It is the humble opinion of Mark, Jr., and myself that the B/R should have been ruled safe.
