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.

What happens if a pursing steps out of the front of batters box and hits the ball?
If a batter steps out of the front of the batter's box and hits the ball, it typically results in a foul ball, as the batter must remain within the confines of the box while making a legal swing. The pitch is considered in play only if the batter is in the box at the time of contact.

If the ball is hit fair and the batter is deemed to have violated the box rules, the play might be called dead.
