Don't have my book in the office now, but look in Rule 7 and see if you can't find a Fed rule that states that if the batter throws the bat and it interfers with a player making a play on a batted ball, the batter is out and the ball is dead.(I believe the rule also states that if the bat breaks, and a piece of the bat contacts the fair batted ball you play on.)
That rule should cover the batter releasing her bat in such a way as to contact the fair batted ball.
