"Batter swings and misses, but on his backswing hits the ball which had popped out of the catchers mitt and back towards the batter. Ball pretty much just went straight down, and the catcher had no chance for a play at 3rd anyway. I had a bit of a brain fart and just let the play stand. In retrospect I believe this is a foul ball, but wanted some confirmation."
**How can it be a foul ball if the batter swung and MISSED?
"Is the batter immediately out and the runner remains at 2nd, a delayed dead ball where the fielding team can take either the result of the play, or the batter being out, or just let them play. I just let them play but wonder if I did the right thing."
**The batter/runner was doing what he had to do, and F2 was doing his job. No interference, no obstruction. There is NO delayed ball on interference, therefore NO choice to be made.
