2 Strikes- Now What?
The baseball whipped by Ned twice. Each time, a strike was counted, but Ned knew that it was impossible for him to get out with the next pitch. How is this possible?
Hint
3 strikes- you're out, except when the strikes are...Answer
Ned is in the field, not at bat. The batter has hit two foul balls, which count as strikes. Ned was trying to catch the foul balls to get an out, but did not succeed.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Sorry - don't follow baseball and the answer makes no sense to me.
thought he had already watched the first pitch, so those were strikes 2 & 3 (thus he couldn't get out on the next pitch as he was already out.....)
good teaser

no affence or anything but if you play baseball or softball this teaser was WAY to easy!
Knew he wasn't the batter. Wasn't sure who he was.
I thought Ned was the catcher and had not caught the first two pitches and watched them go by. Or he could be the umpire. Either way he can't get "out" on the next pitch because he's not batting.
Because of these variations, I did want to put this in the situation category, but it ended up in trivia- the eds know better than we do, so...

the riddle was sort of confusing.
my friend and i both couldn't figure it out. the wording implied that Ned was at bat. it said, "...get out..." when it should say, "...get AN out..". i suggest revising it for future readers. just a suggestion. other than that one part it was cool!
