Ok I need some clarification on this.
Situation...drop third strike the batter runner walks to dugout on third base side ...does not enter and then runs back to home plate and begins to run to first. I argued with an ump yesterday that the batter was out because she gave up and per 8 section 18 A the batter runner went out of the three foot running lane...in my opinion she is out per that rule,BUT
In the 2-29-12 USSSa case book of past situations page 28 states that only if in this situation if she enters deal ball territory 8-17-j..which is in the dugout or beyond she is out.
Seems contradictory. Can the girl actually go right to her dugout on a drop third strike, do a little dance in an effort to get the catcher to throw down to first in order to attempt to get a girl on third to score?
Seems odd to me. Don't you think they contradict each other?
