F2 will know that it wasn't caught and most H.S. catchers will instinctively tag the batter if they know it hit the ground. Just speaking from experience as a former catcher.
Good point though, as the batter doesn't always know, made evident by the fact that a lot of them start walking back to the dugout while all the coaches and teammates are yelling at him to run.
Here's the Drebin strike call....
