You stated that this game was played under HS rules. Here's a case play to take with you next time.

base and tags B1 with the ball. RULING: As soon as the ball hit the batter it
became dead. B1 is declared out [for strike 3]. To have the play ruled a foul ball, the ball would
have to have hit the bat of B1 before it touched his hand.
