Don't confuse the issue
NFHS: A bat hitting a fair ball will not rule the batter out, unless the act is determined to be intentional.
7-4 K
This is not a rule, but an opinion of someone on the effects of the rule (as compared to another body of rules.)
The FED book does not say we will NOT rule a batter out; it does says that we CAN call batter out if act is intentional. Big difference.
I have already noted above that the book requires intent, but my position is that if the batter flings the bat and knocks the ball away from the fielder tnen I am going to use rule 2.3 to call her out for interference.
