    NFHS rules: Batter bunts ball and runs to first base. How far to the left of the chalked base line can a runner run before it's considered interference by the runner on a throw to 1B?

    Hitting Coach

    I am a high school coach. One of my players has their father as their hitting coach. Several times before games he has come to our cages and worked with his daughter on hitting before the game. As a coach, I believe practice time and pre-game time are "mine". I think it's great dad is involved...

    1st and 3rd defense

    Hit or Error?

    How do you score a hit ball that is a slow roller or routine ground ball that goes on either side of an infielder and is not touched by the infielder? I understand if a ball goes through the legs it's an error. Would you score this a hit or error? Thanks.
