Posted this in the general forum but here it is again....
Happened in the State Tournament yesterday.
Nobody on, 1 out. Batter swings thru strike 3 but the catcher doesn't field it cleanly. Hitter starts walking back to the dugout. She walks about 5 feet outside the basepath and her coaches tell her to go touch first. She does, carrying the bat all the way with her. She then proceeds to go in the dugout and sit down.
Her coach then goes to the head Ump and says she wasn't tagged or thrown out. Ump tells her to go get back on first base and she is safe.
What say you?
