Batters Box

[RKBUmp]

This question is more for my daughter than me, although now that she has asked I would like to know the answer also.

She is a multi role left handed batter playing junior college ball. She is small and quick, so does the typical drag bunt, slap, power slap etc. But, she also swings away for power depending on what situation she is in and where runners may be located. She tends to get alot of catcher obstruction calls because they assume she is slapping when in fact she is swinging away.

She came home from a game the other day upset about the umpire. Over the course of the game all the batters box lines had been wiped out. She stepped into bat and the catcher complained she was out of the box. She insisted she was in the box, but umpire told her that she had to get back in. We arent talking a foot out here, we are dealing wth a matter of a couple of inches.

My question is, when the lines have been wiped out, obviously the catcher had her opinion of where the box was, my daughter had her opinion and the umpire had his own opinion, does the batter have any right to request a measurement to replace the back line of the batters box? I have always been told that when the lines are gone, the umpire is to give the benefit of the doubt to the batter, unless it is completely obvious the batter is out of the box.
