I believe the writers of the NFHS softball rulebook need to go back and rewrite rule 5-1-b. It reads "ball becomes dead immediately when the ball is illegally batted or comes in contact with the bat a second time." we all know it only becomes dead when the batt comes in contact with the ball a second time. By the way it is worded it seems to say it can be a dead ball if the ball contacts the bat a second time. Dave
