I would agree that there is nothing if the contact is not intentional. With that said, I find it hard to say that when a player is "run into hard" that the contact is not intentional. I guess it would be a HTBT situations to determine if the contact is intentional or not.
Now, onto the different rules thing. The NFHS rule is similar. The only way to declare the runner out would be on 8-6-13 or 8-6-14. Depending on the actual situation the contact would be deemed intentional and thus 8-6-13 would be applied. An umpire could also deem the contact malcious in either rule code would be an out.
One rule from the ASA book to look at also is 8-7-Q.
Again, this really is a HTBT situation to see what rule would be applied.
