"I can find no other reference to "team area" in the book"
Both ASA and NFHS say the B-R is out if she enters the "team area."
NFHS defines dugout as the "area reserved for team. . . . "
ASA defines dugout as "team area."
Dugout is also defined at an "out of play area." So I think that we can agree that to enter the team area means to pass through the fence opening, or step into the out of play area.
