Hi all,

Never had this happen personally, but realized that I am not entirely sure of what the mechanic is for this situation. If it happened to me today, I'd put up my hands and say "batter is out", but that seems nebulous to LL coaches who probably don't know the rule (which of course isn't my problem).

Thanks for any advice.

Make sure a ruling on the ball being foul, both hands in the air with a “foul” call. Then an out signal for the batter. Increase volume and assertiveness for non-obvious foul (slight tip that goes to the backstop), maybe a squeeze play is on, late in the game with runners on, etc etc etc.
