Batter hits a lazy fly ball to LF, sees the LF camped under it, and takes a step toward the dugout before LF loses the ball in the lights and drops it, whereupon the batter runner proceeds to first. Umpire calls BR out for "giving himself up". Correct call or mistaken overcall?
Only rulebook I could find was an '11 one, and 8-2.4 states that it's an out if the BR enters the team area. Is that still correct? No local rule to supersede the rulebook FWIW.
