It doesn’t matter what rule set. If the batted ball comes back and hits the batter while she’s still in the batter’s box - ANY PART of the batter’s box - it’s a dead ball and a strike on the batter if she has less than 2 strikes on her. The reason there’s a fair and foul part of the batter’s box is for the batted ball that does NOT hit the batter, so that the umpire can determine fair or foul when the ball is either touched or comes to rest.
I hope that game where this happened was a 10U rec league game. Maybe 12U rec. Anything else it would have been nice if somebody - anybody - would have corrected that HP umpire. Not to yell at the ump, but so that he or she will learn and not repeat the mistake.
