foul ball question

[timharris]

hello,


tonight at our fastpitch meeting for high school softball,
a question came up about about the height of a foul ball.
their was a heated argument that if a batter swings at the ball and it doesnt go over her head and the catcher catches it, its just a strike, but if it goes above her and she catches it, its a foul ball and a out. i wanna know does it state anywhere in our federation rules book that a ball coming off the bat has too reach a certain height before it is to be declared a foul ball? i have loked for this and cannot locate.

thanks

timothy
