Dropped 3rd Strike NFHS

[refd]

Thanks, I haven't had it in a game that I have umpired but I host tournaments and we play NFHS rules and it has happened twice. Once they called her out, once they came together and called her out and I agreed in both cases. The rule books make it confusing sometimes but thanks for all the clarifications.

had a similar situation in a men's FP game, where the backstop was a brick wall, swinging strike 3 goes untouched past F2, ricochets right back into B/R as he's taking his 1st stride out of the box. As it was an "act" I had to kill the play there.
