Little League: Kentucky vs. Texas

[TwoBits]

Kentucky batter attempts to check his swing as he's being hit on the hands by the pitch. Orel Hershiser correctly explains that the hand are not part of the bat, but since the batter was ruled swinging on appeal, it should be called a strike. Way to go, Orel! Hopefully parents everywhere were listening to you!

However, on the field, the homeplate umpire rules the pitch a foul ball, not a dead ball strike.
