Can you please help me with this call? I was umpiring a game last night, high school rules.
Batter hit a slow roller fair up the line... he is running with his right foot in the lane, and his left foot partially on the line, and partially in fair territory... the throw to first hits him.
Is he "in the running lane"? Can someone tell me when you are in or out of the lane - technically.
I did not call him out.
8-4-1-g "The batter is considered outside the running lane lines if either foot is outside the line"
