Dropped 3rd strike
NFHS...First base is open. 2 strikes on batter. Next pitch is in the dirt..batter swings..runs to 1st. Catcher comes up with the ball after it hits the dirt..makes no throw. Plate ump only signals a strike. Ball is returned to pitcher. Batter-runner thinks she is out and comes off 1st. Coach at 3rd ask for time and it is granted. She wants to know...was it a dropped 3rd strike?
Question? Is the batter-runner out after reaching 1st by coming off the base in violation of the look back rule?
