Ruling on a Ball Hitting Bat

by Lone Staarr » Tue Oct 18, 2016 3:30 pm

Anyone know what the ruling is on a bat hitting a ball after a bunt?

Girl bunts ball, throws/puts bat down, not intentionally, but the ball hits the bat. Balls bounces away from the catcher and can't throw runner out. What's the ruling?

Ruling depends on whether ball hit bat or bat hit ball.

Play on if ball hits bat and no intent to interfere with the ball. Interference if bat hits fair ball or intentional (e.g. intentionally left bat in ball's path).
