Federation Rules

At a preseason clinic the question was asked " If a ball hits only the untucked shirt of a batter what is the call?" The answer was only a ball should be called, this is the only time I have seen a ball hit only the shirt and not the batter's body.

At pregame verified all players properly equipped and dressed.After game the UIC and a GHSA Represemtative said the call was the correct call. Over 1/2 umpires onsite that were asked agreed with the call so it is possible that was "misunderstood, bad, incorrect or wrong information given at the preseason clinic.

Thanks to all for giving clarification and opinions, I will get the call correct should this happen again.
