loose equipment and ricochet fair batted ball
Edited to include full paragraph. UIC section of 2009 DVD casebook
Detached equipment hit by a thrown ball: Rule 8, Section 5 G 3
If the detached equipment belongs to the offensive team, the player being played on is out. If no apparent play is obvious, an out should not be called. The ball is dead and all runners return to the last base touched at the time of the interference. If a fair batted ball ricochets off a fielder or a base and hits equipment in foul territory, the ball remains live. If a batted ball hits any equipment in foul territory, the ball should be called foul immediately.
Anyone heard of this before or discussed it? It is on page 54 under detached equipment.
