I agree with all the softball umpire, it's gotta be a hammer strike.

Got a different question on the LL game last night. When the batter was hit by the ball and the PU called it a foul ball, what did everyone think? I agreed with the call. On the replay, I thought the batter was touched by the ball just before the foot touched the ground outside the batter's box. But, the question I have, is did anyone notice on the replay that the 2nd base BU was signalling to the PU that it should be an out? Kinda awkward, I thought.

TexBlue,
I thought:

it was close enough to call dead

it was not clear the batter's right foot was lifted outa the box

the second base umpire was calling dead ball with two hands up

it was good that the batter struck out.


However, I was confused by the umpire telling the defensive coach something about "a step-and-a-half". What was that?
