Switching batters box

This happened in a Cooperstown Baseball World game my son played in:

The other team's pitcher was ambidextrous...had a glove that he could wear on either hand. He would pitch with the expected hand, depending on which side the batter was on.

But of course, this could have continued all night. So the umpire took charge, told the pitcher he had to pick a hand to throw with to that batter, and things proceeded smoothly.

The professional interpretation is that an ambidextrous pitcher is allowed to change once in an at bat, and the batter is allowed to switch once in the at bat. PBUC 6.14.
