NCAA...home team ground rules, some teams declare the face of the dug out in play when ball deflects back into fair territory between home and first and home and third?

That's for thrown balls. I have never ever heard of batted balls deflecting off of any foreign object being ruled fair.

I have... When the foreign object was in fair territory.

Beyond that, no way.

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.

A thrown balls makes more sense, I either misunderstood the rule interpretation from another umpire or was just given the wrong info., I found it hard to swallow this would be allowed. Thanks

However, on a thrown ball, it doesn't matter if it deflects into fair or foul territory. It only matters that it stays in live ball territory without ever having been in a dead ball area.

Yeah, I don't think even YSISF has a foul thrown ball.

And who would these home teams be that have these ground rules? I would have to see some verification of this.
