If you want to declare a forfeit and go home, go ahead. You have a rule to back it up.

I can't speak for NFHS, but I'm not going to declare a forfeit simply because one batter (especially a young player) is too upset to take their turn to bat. I'll just call them out for failing to appear at bat.
A forfeit is pretty heavy-handed, and should always be your last resort.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
