Rule 4/D/2/A states under no circumstances shall a team be permitted to bat less than eight in fast pitch. Rule 4/8/C states if a player is ejected and the team does not have enough players to continue the game is forfeited. In this situation Team A still has nine players and eight batters. According to the way I interpret the rule this is not a forfeit. NFHS rule 3/6/D/1 states the game may legally end with nine players. This does not state nine batters. Any replies for this one?
