I couldnt wait to get on the PC tonight to tell everyone this one.Behind the dish in an 18U Girls Fastpitch game when batter ripped a line drive to left field which hit the foul line.Chalk was freshly applied and the line ran all the way to the fence,so when ball hit the chalk dust really kicked up.I pointed fair and batter-runner made it to second base.Here is the good part!!! Defensive coach called time and came out to ask why ball was ruled fair and not foul.I asked him if he saw the chalk fly where the ball hit the line.He said he saw it but the ball hit on the FOUL SIDE OF THE LINE!!!I told him the ENTIRE chalk line is fair if hit.He looked dumbfounded,shook his head and went back to the bench.WOW!!!
