As I learned in the other thread and confirmed later in the rulebook: a batter is out when the bat hits the ball a second time. Exception, the batter is not out if the bat is on the ground and the ball hits the bat.

In this case the bat is not on the ground so the exception does not apply.

I did not catch that the bat was not on the ground until jel and you pointed it out. You are correct! Thanks.

Does that mean all the confusion in this thread was because someone missed

"Bat and ball make contact clearly in the air" and
"bat was in the air at time of contact"

in the OP?

I don't believe that was the cause of confusion. I think the lack of the additional information (bat moving toward the ball) which was provided afterwards is what caused the confusion.

OK, it was also "bat contacted ball" that caused it.

Di you really think I should pass up a chance to razz Wade?
