Penalty 2. If the batter is hit anywhere on the body, including on the hands, while swinging at a pitch, and hits the ball fair or foul, the ball is dead and a strike called. If it is strike three, the batter is out.

Not sure about your reference of 8.1.2.b. Doesn't seem to be an ASA rule designation.
Check out USA/ASA Rule 7.6.A
Rule 7, SECTION 6 – THE BATTER IS OUT
A.
When the third strike is:
1.
Swung at and the pitched ball touches any part of the batter’s person.
2. Not swung at, and the ball hits the batter while the ball is in the strike zone.
3. A pitched ball, in the umpire’s judgment, which was prevented from entering the strike zone by actions of the batter other than hitting the ball.
