Re: "if the same situation occurred in a FED baseball game - what's your call?"
Situation:
2 outs, R1 (1st), R2 (2nd).
Batter swings and misses 3rd strike,
catcher drops the ball in front of her (behind the plate in foul territory).
Batter heads for first and drops the bat down near the plate.
The bat contacts the ball and knocks it well away toward the dugout.
Nothing intentional - the batter was not even aware the ball had been contacted again.
What we have for sure =
a) dropped 3rd strike
b) ball is in foul territory behind the plate
c) batter "drops" their bat as they head to 1st base
d) bat contacts ball in foul territory
What we do not have =
a) batter hitting a pitch
b) a batted ball in fair or foul territory
c) a bat intentionally or unintentionally striking a batted ball
What we need =
a) a batter who can hit a pitch
b) a catcher who can catch a pitch
Solution =
Play on fella's - live ball situation caused by the catcher's incompetence..... jmo
