Rule 5-2 Effect- Batting out of order specifically states that any out on the play stands

whereas

Rule 5-6c - making contact with an illegal or altered bat makes no mention of any out standing.
Say what? Rule 5 (ISF) has nothing to do with this. You must have meant Rule 7. Nonetheless, I cannot find anything in the book to support keeping an out made during a play which was initiated by the use of an illegal bat.
