I agree that it is implied the bat was placed in the track like you said. However, I am reluctant to believe a hollow piece of plastic would act as a stick would to prevent the door from being opened. Perhaps I am wrong. I don't suppose you have a wiffle ball bat lying around and could try it in your door? I just imagine someone who really wanted to get in would be able to surpass that obstacle.
I don't think we are allowed to sleuth the husband (yet), but my hinky meter is setting off blaring alarms with him!!
My hubby (construction guy) said that a wiffle ball bat placed in the tract of a sliding glass door would prevent the door from opening provided that the bat’s plastic was intact. I have personally seen both plastic tubes & broom stick handles placed in the tracts of sliding glass doors as a “lock” of sorts.
(He also said that it is possible to pull the operating panel out on a sliding glass door; depending on the manufacturer & installation).
