3 New Rules Learned This Weekend
1. It cannot be a foul ball if the 3rd baseman is clearly standing in fair
territory and touches the ball when over foul ground.
2. It is interference when a runner has to dodge the bat left lying on the
ground. Batter hit a shot to center field, burning her and going to fence.
Rounding third, sees HER bat, slows, goes wide around the bat, and is
thrown out at home. Not even a close play.
3. If while trying to run to 1st after D3K runner falls, gets up and heads
towards 1B well out of running lane to fair side. Catcher got the ball back
on bounce, [backstop only 8' from home plate], Attempting to throw the
BR out, hits her about five feet from 1B, single base. Interference cannot
be called because the run fell. [This play got very heated., I don't know
why.]
