procedure?

[MD Longhorn]

This would have been handled easily and quickly by a quick and confident, "FOUL BALL" call when it hit the bat the second time. I can count the number of times (in 20 years) that I've seen a batter hit the ball intentionally a 2nd time on no fingers. I can count the number of times a batter has managed to be IN the box the first time they hit it and OUT of the box 4 milliseconds later when the ball hit the bat a 2nd times on no fingers as well.

If coach comes out, "Coach she was still in the box when it hit the bat (don't say when she hit it) the 2nd time". If HE thinks she did it on purpose and asks about it (which he won't!), you can go ask your partner if he/she thought the second hit was intentional (it won't be).

I think the crux is - if you had known the rule, and that it didn't matter one iota whether the ball was fair or foul after the first hit and fair or foul after the second hit, you would have alleviated yourself of this entire scenario.
