Batting rule:
Quote:
7.5.B. (Slow Pitch) .... Any pitched ball that hits the ground or plate cannot be legally swung at by the batter. If the batter swings at a pitch after the ball hits the ground or plate, it is a ball.
So when the pitcher rolled the ball to the plate, which rule is in force, or do we get to pick which one we'd like to use?
