Test Question

NFHS Rules
The ball is dead immediately when the umpire verbally announces "foul ball".

No. (or, more accurately, not always)

The resistance of some people to actually reading the rule is impressive.

Thanks for the responses.

I had answered false for the reason given, but the answer was marked incorrect. I will chalk it up to an incorrect key.
