Bret, got a question I'm not sure the answer to.
Ok, bunted ball fair by LH batter this weekend. Ball is still rolling, bat has been dropped with head in fair territory. The bat is not moving, the ball rolls into the bat. Play is called fair.
Next game new umpire. Same girl bunted ball fair, ball and bat still moving when dropped, ball rolls into bat. Batter called out.
One ump said if ball rolls into a 'still' bat fair play?? But if the bat hits the ball ( while bat moving ) batter is out??
ASA umps. Thanks.
