A while back I posted a thread about a team whose bunters, when pulling back, brought the butt of the bat (the far end, not the handle) waaay back toward the catcher's face whenever there was a runner on base.

One of these girls did in fact foul the ball off on a 2-strike count while pulling it back in that fashion.

After calling the "Foul ball, batter's out", I used the opportunity to inform the (livid) 3B coach that INT will indeed be called if this nonsense hinder's F2's play on a steal.

This practice is obviously taught by the coach, and while USC may be a stretch for both coach and batter, I wouldn't lose much sleep over the ejection...
