What about rules 7.3.A and 7.3.C? Batter had to be inside the batters box with both feet prior to the pitch according to 7.3.A. In 7.3.C it says she can step out with one foot BETWEEN pitches. But this batter is described as stepping out DURING the pitch, and her action delayed play. None of the listed exceptions allowing her to leave the box apply to this situation. Would this situation justify calling a strike against the batter or at least giving a warning?
