NFHS:

Strike and warning when it happens
Strike, Restriction for both offender and coach after warning (That means double EJ here in FL!!)


NFHS 3-6-17

ART. 17 . . . Team personnel shall not intentionally remove any lines of the batter’s box or on the field of play.
PENALTY: (Art. 17) A strike shall be called on the batter if a member of the
offense intentionally removes the line and a ball awarded to the batter if a
member of the defense intentionally erases a line. A team warning shall be
issued, with the next offense resulting in a strike/ball, the offender and the
head coach being restricted to the dugout.

No out....the first offense is a strike on the batter and a warning. Next offense, strike on the batter and the player and coach are restricted to the bench.

Unless strike three, how can the player be restricted to the bench and continue to bat at the same time?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
