JMO, but I think by and large the foreign substance rule can be completely ignored in girls FP. They are highly unlikely to be putting an "real" foreign substance on the ball, and neither a little dirt nor a little spit is going to materially alter the flight of the ball - the distance is too short and the ball is too large / heavy.

Besides, all good pitchers are also good at the pretend wipe off. Sometimes they might forget; sometimes I might just not notice.
