I'll do it Tom. It's Monday, I'm at work, and not really interested in working right about now.

Play 6.6-4
F5 rubs dirt on the ball and then gives it to F1 to pitch.

Ruling: Illegal pitch. If a player continues to place a foreign substance on the ball, the player should be ejected from the game. (6-6)

Play 6.6-5
F1 places resin directly on the ball or in the glove and the resin transfers to the ball, F1 then pitches the ball before the umpire can stop play.

Ruling: Illegal pitch. Resin may be used only to dry the hands. (6-6A)

Play 6.6-8
F1 spits on the ball or licks their fingers without wiping them off on the uniform and then pitches the ball before the umpire can stop play. B1 (a) hits a double; (b) is thrown out at second base; (c) does not swing at the pitch.

Ruling: In (a) and (b) the illegal pitch is ignored and play stands since B1 reached 1B safely. In (c) the illegal pitch is enforced. (6-6A)

NDblue - buy the casebook. It is pretty useful.
