Had a situation tonight where the batter with two strikes
runs towards the ball, bat extended and on contact ball goes
foul. I call foul, "strikeeeee three".

No doubt in my mind this was a drag attempt and not slap.
We were in a 2-2 ball game, bottom of 7th. Coachs and fans
did not like the call, but after seeing the replay on TV moments
ago, I have no doubt I made the right call.

BTW, game eneded in bottom of 8th - walk off HR by the pitcher.

This kid is 8-0 averaging 14 K's per game....Had 16 tonight.
