Last night in a HS game the following scenario played out:
2 outs and runner on 3rd. Hitter lines a pitch down 3rd base line in foul territory, which hits the runner who is standing in foul territory. Ump rules runner and batter out- (yes that would be 4 outs). The batter is told later that your at bat wouldn't count, but I see in the box score this morning that it did count. I thought if the base runner is standing outside of field of play and is hit that this is a foul ball? Also, why would the ump say batter is out too?
