Ball hits bat on ground

[akalsey]

Okay, Coach, you've got me. I was misapplying "object foreign to the natural ground" to the fair ball rule. The ball is foul, add a strike to the batter's count, all runners return to their TOP base.

Of course now I've got the other coach in my ear and I've got to sit here and eat crow for a few moments. At least this is easier to fix than if I'd called a fair ball foul.
