ISF Contradiction in Fair/Foul definition
So unless I'm reading this wrong--do these definitions contradict one-another?
ISF Rules 1.29.b A fair ball is a legally batted ball which bounds past first or third base on or over fair territory, regardless of where the ball hits after going over the base. 1.37.c A foul ball is a legally batted ball which first touches on foul territory beyound first or third base. So what one is saying is a ball that sails on the fly over third base in fair territory but lands in foul territory is both fair and foul? |
The definition of bounds is a leaping motion upwards. Probably not the best choice of words for the rule but I would take it to mean a ball that has hit the ground and bounces over the base, not a fly ball.
