He asks with a devious grin
Hi-ya Tee!
You're testing me...
I would call this a foul tip and batter is out. This is probably skirting it's way through a couple different rules and the situation is likely only covered in somebody's published interpretations. I don't find anything in the FED rule or casebook. It seems that once the ball hits the bat, things start over... could be a home run, could be a foul ball, could be a caught fly and an out, could be a foul tip and with an 0-2 count it is the 3rd strike and batter is out.
I would guess that you already know the answer, Tim.
Educate us. Tell us what Jim Evans says about the situation.
By the way, Tim...
I'm working High School FP Softball District Championship today and baseball Championship tomorrow - my first games of the season with temperatures above 50 degrees! It might reach 65 today and possibly 70 tomorrow. Spring may have finally have reached Idaho!
