This is what I read in the rules as well for Fed as well. I can find 3 rule references to playing short handed in the Fed rulebook. 4-3-1f, 4-3-1g, and 7-4-1.
4-3-1f deals with with a team not having 9 players to start a game.
4-3-1g deals with a team not having 8 players to continuing playing.
7-4-1 deals with a batter not being able to bat and an opening in the batting order.
