The precedence would come in Rule 8 because the batter becomes a runner. By rule, the ball becomes dead once it hits the batter.

My version of common sense -- and being the idiot I am, my sense ain't very common -- tells me if the batter can't see the ball (like in your scenario) she can not avoid it.

Of course the defensive coach is going to say she didn't try to avoid. That's his job. Don't pay the coach any mind -- let them do their job, you do your job in sending little Kelsey on down to first base.
