Why "In NCAA and ASA we have an out."? [/B]

CecilOne,
Not sure I read your post correctly. In all three referenced orgs (ASA,PONY and NCAA), the "no intention to interfere with the course of the ball...." only applies to a dropped bat and the ball rolls against the bat in fair territory. If the batter drops the bat and hits the ball, then the batter is out and dead ball is declared.
What does this have to do with the original thread (NFHS ruling), I don't know.
