Al, why are you sending this batter to first base on a 3rd strike?
Ball hits batter - dead ball.
Batter was swinging - so it's a strike - the 3rd one in this case. Batter out.
Ball was dead - R1 back to first.
And if you have an umpire EVER say "the hands are part of the bat", do your best to avoid this non-umpire in the future. This is myth 1-A in the book that every REAL umpire who has attended even a single clinic (or spent one day here on the forum) knows is false.
