				Batted ball contacts batter/runner - "Out" of the box
			 
			
			
			Debating this with some local guys. Sitch: Stereotypical bang-bang batted ball bounces up and hits the BR. All codes have this as a dead-ball out if the BR is out of the box. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The question: Does "out" of the box differ between ASA/Fed/NCAA codes the same way as batting a ball does? IE: ASA/Fed require a body part on the ground entirely outside the lines while NCAA requires only any ground contact outside the lines. I say yes after going to the books, but I'm looking for confirmation.
