I understand your use of Rule 11 (common sense) to resolve this situation. Can you find support for your stance in the other 10 rules (NFHS/NCAA) or 9 rules (OBR)? If the situation is really confusing, and the batter tries to run after the bat accidentally contacts the ball on the throw back, I'll make the safe signal and say "That's nothing", so that the batter (and everyone else) understand that the contact between bat and ball is NOT a batted ball.
