NFHS and ASA do not have that exception (loose uniform hit by pitch) to HBTP, while NCAA does. IMO, possibly the right call, but the wrong rule cited.
No, I wouldn't state the ball didn't hit the shirt; I prefer to be honest. But, in my judgement, the batter failed to attempt to avoid the pitch, thus dead ball, ball, no free base. No further explanation of judgement required (or desirable).
