Just curious:-)))
Was watching an NCAA contest between Purdue and Michigan last weekend, and saw a batter hit a chopper in the dirt. Ball was spinning just inside the 1rst base line about a foot or so from home plate. When batter took off she dropped her bat and the knob end of the bat contacted the ball and kicked the ball into foul territory. PU ruled foul ball?? Are the NCAA rules concerning a bat hitting the ball a second time different from NFHS? In NFHS this would result in batter being called out I believe because bat hit the ball 2nd time in fair territory.
-also-
Same game saw a batter take a high inside pitch, and as she bent backwards to get out of the way the ball hit her on one of her hands. BU ruled HBP and sent her to 1rst base. The gal that was doing the broadcast say's "That should have been a foul ball as the hands are part of the bat"?????
