check swing
i seen this play happened in a college game and i was wondering what the fed rule is on this. there is a 3-2 count on the batter with 2 outs, men on 2nd and 3rd. the 3-2 pitch is called a ball on a check swing and the ball gets away from the catcher and goes to the backstop. the batter heads to first and all the runners move up. the catcher then asks for an appeal and the first base umpire calls it a swing for a third strike. the umpires got together and called the batter out and no run scored. this is hard for me to believe that it was called correctly, just doesn't seem right. what is the fed ruling on this?
