This is part of the difference in baseball philosophy as opposed to softball.
Yes, we know it happens in softball, but that doesn't make it right and many in softball know this. In baseball, it intent to injure is basically ignored.
If there is even a hint that the pitch was intentionally thrown at the batter, this court did the sport and it's participants a great disservice. Oh, silly me, this was a court in California, right?
Nev-r-miened!
