7-4-H & Effect
|
7-4-H and its effect (in 2005) say that the ball is dead when the batter is hit with a batted ball that this is a strike unless it would be the third strike.
Is it now a citation for the batter being out with three strikes? I know it's three strikes, you're out at the old ball game; but if it's not 7-4-H supposing I asked for a rule citation for that proposition.
