Question
Can batters bunt on the third strike? and when a batter hits the ball, bounces on home plate, catcher grabs it and throws batter out on first base, is that an out? The umpire called that a foul ball. We just a game and the umpire said that my batter was out because she bunted at the third strike. The ball was bunted fair. I know that if it goes foul on the third strike while bunting, that is an out. Is he correct? To the second question, if the ball doesn't bounce foul and my catcher grabs it in front of her, that is still a fair ball. Am I correct?
Answer
Richard,
First of all, yes you can bunt at your own risk on a third strike. If it bounces on home plate and your girl throws it to first. The runner is out. If the BALL is fair when your catcher grabs it then it's fair.
I hope this helps.
