This is a rule difference between ASA and NFHS rules. In NFHS hitting a fair batted ball a second time will not rule the batter out, unless the act is determined to be intentional. In ASA any time the bat hits the ball a second time over fair territory, it is considered intentional and the batter is ruled out. Also in NFHS if the bat hits the ball in foul territory and the ball has a chance to become fair the batter is out if the umpire felt the act was intentional. Just a foul ball in ASA. In NFHS it has to be ruled intentional and in ASA it is ruled intentional. Different rule for different associations. NFHS 7-4-1-k ASA 7-6-J&K
