I'm saying that ASA says this is a foul ball and the interpretation I was given for NFHS is that it is a fair ball. |
Sorry, I should have also quoted A...

I think you need to read the wording a little closer. A, B and E deal with everything from home plate to the square formed by the baselines. F, G and H deal with everything beyond that.
I agree with you that both ASA and NFHS need something to handle this scenario, and I have no problem with your call. Just which rule you're invoking.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
