OBR 2.00
A strike is a legal pitch...which is struck
at by the batter and missed.
Jaska/Roder 2.00 Ball/Strike
A pitch is a strike if the umpire judges that
the batter has swung and missed.
Not to be confused with 9.02(c)
where the PU (and BU, if asked) must
determine if a partial swing was, in fact,
a swing.
There is no language in OBR stating that the swing
must be INTENTIONAL (or "offered at" which we hear
often in regards to a bunt/half-swing). If there is,
please identify where I can read it in the rule book.
What age level was this game? I'm surprised you
didn't get an earful over this one.
