In slow pitch softball if you foul the ball with two strikes are you out?
Yes, in slow pitch softball, if a batter has two strikes and they foul the ball, they are not out. Unlike fast pitch softball, where a foul ball with two strikes results in an out, slow pitch rules allow the batter to continue their at-bat after a foul ball, as long as it is not a third strike. The batter can keep hitting until they either get a fair ball or strike out in another way.
Can a bounced pitch in baseball cause a hit by pitch?
Yes, a bounced pitch can result in a hit by pitch if the ball strikes the batter after bouncing off the ground. According to MLB rules, if a pitch bounces and then hits the batter, it is considered a hit by pitch, provided the batter does not make an attempt to avoid it. However, if the batter actively tries to avoid the ball or if the pitch is deemed out of the strike zone, the ruling may vary.

Can a runner steal second base on a dropped third strike?
On a dropped third strike, if there's a runner on first and less than 2 outs than the batter is automatically retired, whether or not the runner from first was stealing on the pitch. If there are 2 out, the batter can try to reach base, and the runner from first would be forced to try to advance to second. As on any other pitch, a runner can always try to advance, but would only be credited with a stolen base if he left the bag when the pitch was thrown, not after it was dropped.
