When does a foul ball become live again?
Situation was runner on third. Batter hits a foul ball behind the catcher. Catcher gets the ball and throws back to pitcher. The pitcher was having a hard time seeing it because the sun was right in her eyes so she didn’t catch it and it went to second. They send the runner on third and she scores a run.
Is it live once the catcher has it or once she starts the throw back? I thought the pitcher had to have it before it was live again. Especially because when the ball goes over the fence, the ump will throw a new ball at the pitcher himself?
