NCAA and NFHS question

[xtremeump]

The OP has the ball going out of play, I do not know what Oh Dear Has to offer to the discussion ? Book rule is 2B @ TOT, I looked back at my post and see that I was not clear with that. What is the question that I should have false on ? I am sorry I have a hard time following you. Very Sorry for any confusion on my post.

Not sure why you're not getting this. Several people have answered your question.

It's this simple: You stated that if a ball hits a cleared bat, the runners get two bases. This statement is false. THAT is the question you should have false on, if it were asked on a test.

23) A thrown ball that hits a bat that has been cleared by the umpire. The umpire should award the runners 2 bases from the TOT.

Answer: False.

A ball that hits a cleared bat ... or an uncleared bat ... is not treated any differently than a ball that doesn't hit a cleared or uncleared bat. The bat is completely irrelevant.

This quoted statement is also false. Perhaps you meant:

Thank you, I have read and understand that my post was incomplete.

If a batted ball hits a bat is usually nothing. It is only interference if the umpire judges that the batter intentionally placed the bat into the path of the ball.

It is interference if a bat hits a batted ball.
