Willie, in case you haven't figured it out yet, with all the kidding going on, but there is no rule, in most codes, governing the situation you posted here. Some organizations such as Dixie, have a "safety" rule where the batter would be warned in this situation, and repeating the act would result in her being called out. However, ASA, USSSA, and most others have no rule governing this.
