The last sentence in my original post indicated I am leaning toward not awarding bases but not entirely sure my ruling was wrong.
Yes, 8-3-3 is clear about gaining possession using detacted player equipment. I am struggling with no specific rule which addresses what to do after possession and the ball is in contact with or lodged in detached player equipment because the player deliberately removed such equipment.
I am looking for specific rule references to this fact not just philosophy.
In the absence of specific rule prohibiting the action I must rule the batter-runner out per Rule 2-24-1, 2-24-4, or 2-24-5.
