MN Blue is correct (well, at least for slow-pitch)
USSSA
8.4 (g) states that the batter runner cannot touch 1b with the bat if the ball is live...

OK, but he touched it with his foot. 😉

Last paragraph of RS52:

There is no penalty when a player carries a bat to first base or any other base. Should the player use the bat to prevent a defensive player from making a play, then interference should be ruled.

If I remember correctly, that is a U-trip rule.

Also NSA, unless they changed their rule recently.

As mook11 said, slow pitch only!

Interesting Q for the literal of us:
" batter runner cannot touch 1b with the bat if the ball is live...

OK, but he touched it with his foot. "

Until the rule book contains something about rebuilding Mac servers or imaging Mac workstations and integrating them with Active Directory, I'm gonna leave it at home. 😉

However, I do not believe there is a corresponding rule for fast pitch, although I am not an umpire...

If the batted ball has cleared the outfield fence, is not the ball now a dead ball and the batter is awarded four bases because a fair ball went into dead ball territory on the fly. Therefore, if the ball became dead before the batter touched first base, the batter is not out.

I thought Macs were so good they never needed rebuilding. 😉

Normally, they don't, but these are grade schools monkeying with them with teachers administrating them. Bad combination!
