Carrying the bat to 1st
 
Just curious. For those organizations that don't allow the BR to touch 1st base with the bat in their hand, is it a force out or a timed out? Thanks in advance.

OT _ Hijack
 
There used to be really good dove hunting in Manning 30 years ago.

First, what is OT_Hijak?

I've been in Manning less than 3 years and I don't hunt.

Sorry, I hijacked the thread and changed the topic
I grew up near Charleston and used to hunt doves with my Dad in Manning with the family of J W McCabe. That was about 30 years ago though.
I don't know the answer to the question that you are asking but if the out requires the touching of first base, I would assume timing play.
I have been wrong before

USSSA - SP rule

Sec. 4. A BATTER-BASE RUNNER IS OUT under the following circumstances.
(A - F edited out)
G. When, after hitting a fair ball, and while the ball is still live, the Batter-runner
carries the bat and touches first base or runs beyond first base while carrying
the bat. Note: If this action results in the 3rd out of an inning, no runs shall score.

H. When, after hitting a fair ball, and while the ball is still live, the Batterrunner
goes into dead ball territory.
EFFECT Sec. 4. G-H. In these situations, the ball remains live and in play and other
base runners are in jeopardy
. This does not apply to walks and home runs as
the ball is dead in those situations.
