RULE 3.3.4 RULE & EFFECT
Bats deemed inappropriate (altered, illegal or nonapproved) (pregame or
DURING PLAY) shall be removed from the team’s possession and secured by the plate umpire from either team for the duration of the game.
If the inappropriate bat is rediscovered while the batter is in the
batter’s box or after her turn at bat and before a pitch to the
next batter, the batter (or now batter-runner if the turn at bat is
completed) shall be declared out and ejected, and any advance by
base runners shall be nullified.
If a pitch has been thrown to the next batter, the batter who used
the equipment and is now the base runner, shall be declared out
if on base and, in any case, shall be ejected. Advance by base
runners shall stand.
In all cases, the head coach is ejected from that game.
