Foul Ball (hits batter in box)

[streamdoc]

Greetings,

I'm curious - In the original question post, the coach says that after the umpires got together, they called the batter out. As I read his question, she was still in the box. Would this not just be a dead ball/foul ball since she was in the box? She would only be out if she and the ball came into contact once she left the box. Am I missing something in the question?

Also, Steve M - thanks for relaying that anecdote. The best part of the story is the batter's response to you. Keeping a sense of humor about things - I like it!
