ASA girls fastpitch game, (HS using ASA rules). Had a play occur which I have never seen happen before. Partner and I got together and made the ruling which satisfied both benches, and I believe was correct, yet I can't seem to locate a specific ruling, or case play for this one. I would like to get the boards help on this one.
Runners 2nd and 3rd, 0 outs. Batter swings and misses at D3K. Ball richochets off backstop and rolls over to 3rd base dugout area. Batter tosses bat and heads to first, other runners move on D3K. The tossed bat hits the deflected wild pitch in foul territory, drastically changing it's trajectory. R1 had already moved up to home before contact, R2 made 3B after bat contact, batter had not reached first. I allowed play to finish out thinking this was not a DDB, or DB situation. We then made a ruling on the play.
This is the edited part. I forgot to add, after bat contact R2 crossed home, BR made 2B.
What is your call? I will report ours later.
