In our pre-games for this situation, we have stated that if a girl gets excited and chases a ball that rolls twenty or thirty feet into DBT, we will try to recognize that, kill the play and award bases. If, however, the ball only rolls two or three feet into DBT and is chased, we may not be able to see that and all play will stand. IOW, if we can determine that the ball is in DBT, a girl chasing it does not make it a live ball.
