Batter Interference
Two out, R1 and R2.
Dropped third strike. Batter making no real attempt to go to first accidentally hits ball with bat (it was hanging at his side) as he is starting towards his dugout.
Partner ignored the contact, said it was incidental.
Correct?
Then, let's assume he was trying to advance and again accidentally, with the bat, hits the ball. What is the ruling?
