Long Foul Fly is missed by F9.
"We'll have to wait and see how that is scored since it went off her glove." How about FOUL BALL.

I believe a foul fly that is misplayed can still be ruled an error for the purposes of determining ERA.

I don't know how many times I have heard the pitching circle referred to as "the mound" in these SR's, by the talking heads and coaches being interviewed.

No, it can't be unless you're thinking slow-pitch.

NCAA 14.2.8 Error: A misplay charged to a defensive player when it is judged by the official scorer to have prolonged the time at bat (causes one or more pitches to be thrown) of an offensive player or contributed to an offensive player being declared safe.
Yes, an error can be charged on a foul ball and should be if a misplay prolongs the at-bat. No, this doesn't concern the umpires. It can effect the pitcher's ERA.

Is anyone aware of a dropped foul ball ever being scored as an error even though it is permissible according to the rules to do so?

Does OBR address the situation?
