Ball hits bat

High School/NCAA

Bat is rolling away from the ball but the ball is going faster and hits the bat. Play on? Out?

I'd rule play on but the bat is moving what do you have.

Umps on the field ruled - out.

If the ball hit the bat play on. If the bat hit the ball interference.

I think your title is the answer, Rachel.
It doesn't sound like the bat interfering with the course of the ball, which is what the rule is about.

I think your umpires on the field missed the call....However, we have all missed some.
