A blocked ball is a ball batted or thrown that is stopped or handled by a person not playing. The ball is returned to the pitcher and runners remain on the same bases.
A strike is:
1. A ball struck at by the batter without her touching it.
2. A foul tip caught.
3. A good ball, legally delivered by the pitcher, not struck at by the batter.
4. A good ball which the batter deliberately interferes with.
A foul strike is a ball batted when the batter is out of her position.
The batsman is out:
1. If she bats out of turn.
2. If she fails to take her position one minute after umpire calls for batter.
