From a High School "Fall League" INSTRUCTIONAL game (free substitutions, light on the pitching rule, work with slappers, just let coaches know what is going on).
"She's out of the box, blue" "Oh for crying out loud, her toes are out of the box blue. The whole foot must be in the box or she's out." (From "a fan")
"She stepped on the plate blue. She's running towards the ball, and stepped on the plate." You gotta call that, blue". (Note: BR stepped to slap the ball, a ton of sand in what is called the batters box BARELY touched the black part of the plate--further, I was mostly blocked out by the catcher who was going after the INSIDE pitch)
On bouncing hit down 3B line that girl touches fair (she is standing about2 feet from line, reaches across her body when the ball hits the heel of her glove--saw it clear as day): "How can you call that fair?" BTW, girl chases after ball with a lot more speed than they do when the ball is foul.
