NFHS Discrepancy on Detached Equip
Question on the award criterion when a fielder touches a thrown ball with her detached glove or other equipment. The Penalty section of FED rule 8-4-3e says the award is two bases from the time of the throw. However, case book play 8.4.3L states that runners are awarded two bases when the detached glove or mitt contacts the thrown ball. Which is correct?
