The easier problem: What is the probability that none of the the batters get a hit?
It should be 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 8/27.
Whatever is left is the probability that at least one batter gets a hit. 1 - 8/27 = 19/27.
This is how I would do it, too. It just seems a lot easier this way.
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
