fair or foul?

[John Chladek]

Oops. Glen's reply made me realize I had left out some of the story. After the ball hit the cathcher, it still had so much spin that it skittered away from her in front of the plate. BR was halfway to 1B and would have beaten it out easily. So, instead of "guessing the batter out" it was more like "guessing the batter back to the plate from 1B". It didn't matter in the game, she doubled on the next pitch!
