Batted ball contacts batter/runner - "Out" of the box

But, 11.21.7 does NOT use that added phrase of "any part", just "out of the batter's box". so that refers backs to 2.20.1, that the foot must have touched completely outside the batter's box. Remember, NCAA is the rules set that is absolutely literal in what it says is what it means; nothing is to be interpolated or extrapolated for consistency with other rules.

Thanks, Steve. This makes perfect sense. I owe some guys a beverage. I was incorrect, and I was overthinking it.
