bat hitting ball - maybe
One I probably missed, now looking for whether what I think makes sense and, if so, how to avoid the problem.

Righty batter, batted ball, grounder, dribbling up 1st base line, BR safe at 1st.
After play, DC says the bat hit the ball after being dropped. As PU, I did not see that or see any change of direction.
This was a case where the coach was so convincing and others in dugout (1st side) were so sure that I now will concede that I probably missed it.

Afterward, given the timing and direction, I think the BR blocked my view as she started to 1st.
Does that make sense?
Have you had the same problem?
Is there a solution?
