Base Awarded?
Batter swings at strike three. Ball is in the dirt, gets past the catcher and goes through gap in fence. My ruling is dead ball, runners advance one base and batter-runner is awarded 1st base. The only reference I find refers to a third strike lodging in an umpires mask, etc in which case batter-runner is awarded 1st base. Seems like the same application would apply. Correct?
