Hi All,
Played last night and situation came up where the hitter hit a ball towards the 3rd baseman. Ball was batted into fair territory down the line; 3rd baseman is inside the diamond and dives at the ball just foul. Umpire calls foul ball. Not sure how the ball can be called foul as the last place the ball touched the ground was in fair territory and the infielder touched the ball before it touched the ground again and went into foul territory.
Can I get a reference to the ruling on this one as I think the umpire got it wrong.
Also first post and just stumbled across this site; great website.
Cheers,
R
