Just a hint for those overusers of 9.01c...
If you're using this as your basis for a ruling, and something TRULY unforseeable by the rulesmakers didn't occur (think - an airplane or parachutist just landed on your field ... a fence blew off it's hinges and hit a fielder or runner, etc., an earthquake started during a play...), then you are misusing the rule.
9.01c is to cover the unforseeable.
If you think that a batter getting hit by a throw after drawing a walk is unforseeable, then you have bigger problems than we can fix here.
