My 10.8.1 deals with two runners on a base, but I am indeed curious as to whether any rule will be inserted in the 2004 book specifically to cover the out for USC.

Is the case play the one where the batter hits the ball over the fence but is called out and ejected because he threw the bat?

At last year's pre-season meeting, several UICs acted as if the out-for-USC rule had always been there, claiming that a dirty crash at home plate had always been an out as well as an ejection, even if the ball was nowhere near the catcher. I was just filling in for our guy, so I kept my mouth shut, but I felt like asking where that rule had been hiding in the book.
