As Tom suggests, maybe that was too early for me to explain clearly.
The conundrum is that by the book, the batter is not out because the strike three was uncaught and if the ball is dead, the batter can not be tagged out or played out at 1st. The question is about what is in the rules.
I ruled her out, my partner agreed, no one argued, but I'm wondering how this is covered in my books (NCAA,NFHS,ASA,USSSA,PONY) and where.
