Not sure why you're not getting this. Several people have answered your question.

It's this simple: You stated that if a ball hits a cleared bat, the runners get two bases. This statement is false. THAT is the question you should have false on, if it were asked on a test.

23) A thrown ball that hits a bat that has been cleared by the umpire. The umpire should award the runners 2 bases from the TOT.

Answer: False.

A ball that hits a cleared bat ... or an uncleared bat ... is not treated any differently than a ball that doesn't hit a cleared or uncleared bat. The bat is completely irrelevant.
