Bret, I can only give you the NCAA interpretation, and know the intent of NFHS is/was to match that interpretation.
Remaining in her spot in the batter's box, or only turning so that she is hit in less painful spot does not meet the exception of "deliberately". If the batter moves and is hit in a place she would NOT have been hit had she not moved (generally toward or closer to the plate, not toward the pitcher, but also possibly dropping an elbow or hand), THEN you should apply the "deliberately" exception.
Kind of similar to "actively" hindering while in the batter's box.
