A pitched ball (curve ball) hits dirt in front of home plate. Ball bounces up towards the plate. BAtter then hits ball into fair terratory, scoots into second for a stand up double. IS this legal?

This is legal every level, every place, ...even legal in Cricket.
But, then you probably already knew that didn't ya?

Mick has it correct. Just for your own information, this is covered under OBR Rule 2.00 Definition of A BALL.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Nope, I don't call cricket anything but interesting. But, from what I saw, in my only one cricket "pick-up" game, ya need to get a whole bunch of people on a big field for the sake of having fun.

I remember some yelling and finger-pointing seems to be required between the players.
