Correct. NSA is one such org. USSSA says:

USSSA 9-2-F: The ball is live and in play: When a fly ball is legally caught (unless it is the second Foul caught after one strike.)
Remember, U-Trip starts with a 1-1 count, so they're referring to one strike AFTER being given the 1-1 count.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
