We have a base runner on 2B, third base coach notices that the SS is not shading towards 3B to cover a steal, so he calls for the batter to take a pitch with a fake bunt and for the base runner to steal 3B. Batter squares, fake bunts and pulls the bat back for a called strike. Catcher attempts throw to F6 who is running to cover 3B. Ball hits the bat of the batter who was standing still in the batters box. Home plate umpire calls base runner out for interference on the batter.
I always thought that the batter had the right to stay in her position in the batters box and she had the bat resting on her shoulder after pulling back the fake bunt attempt. I thought our HC was going to get thrown out for arguing the call!
