Good thing is I've been playing ball with most of these clowns for the last 15 years....so hopefully I won't get questioned too hard on it. At least I have a rule to cite.
Thanks for the help!
Happened so fast I didn't SEE it hit twice, but my ears don't deceive me. It hit the bat twice, quickly.
Guy dug up the rule book and looks like a foul ball given the circumstances and where he was in the box.
Umping last night. Runner on first. Nobody out (maybe 1). Runner on 1st.
Batter swings and I distinctly hear the ball hit the twice in QUICK succession. Playing racquetball it sounds VERY much like a carry where it hits low and then high.
Punches it through the ride side for a weak hit...
This is a tournament of mostly average players. But the puniest guy was bombing the 44/400s 320 feet. So I gotta try something. Even if I can save two dozen balls....that's a victory.
Appreciate the reply though.
I struggle with this every year. Been using 44/400 NSA balls....but losing far too many because the park borders on woods/water for 3 of the 4 diamonds. Deciding to go back to old ASA standard 44/375. Home runs generate money for the charity...so still want them hit to a degree. What's the best...

Looking to recommend a good ball for league play and tournaments. No association standard necessary. Just something good that holds up and can fly....without putting the pitcher in TOO much peril.
