Yep
Same for Calvin ball here in CT, except we call it a Slash Bunt... and it will get both the player and his manager ejected! Re: safety issue. When I played LL in Ohio we didn't have this rule. I remember getting knocked off my feet half way up the third base line :-) Caught it too... or probably more correctly it stuck in my glove while I tried keep from having a hole drilled in my chest. Some things just stick in your memory! Here's a thought; do you think this rule was driven by the wide use of Al bats?
