Batter hits ball and as he leaves the box, throws the bat which hits catcher.
Is this considered interfering with the catcher and causes the batter-runner to be out?
This seems to be one of those things that everyone knows the answer to but is not covered in the rules (no reference to thrown bat)

Based on what I've read on other boards, LL has an interp that this is NOT an out (unless the catcher was trying to field the ball, of course), but that the player could be ejected (or, more likely, warned first).
THat's the general implementation in youth ball -- althopugh some leagues do call this an out.
