Actually the answer to the "what states don't use NFHS baseball rules" was always the same:

Massachusetts

and

North Dakota (as they do not play high school baseball at all).

Don't know if that has changed.

Well, I was really close on that guess.

So now there are three?

Rhode Island baseball uses NFHS rules.

See also the RIIL site.

When I lived back east, they did not. I just found a link that says that RI transitioned from AL rules to NFHS rules in 2009. So there's only 1 state then that plays HS baseball that doesn't use NFHS rules now, I think.

And Tee, ND *does* play HS baseball. It's Montana that does not (they play Legion).

I just read an old thread from a website that said it was Virginia, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts as of 2003, according the the editor of the NFHS baseball rules. So, if Rhode Island is not on the list anymore, are these others still?

Virginia uses NFHS

So now we are down to South Carolina and Massachusetts. Anybody want to report in from there so we can put this mystery to bed?

South Carolina uses NFHS rules -- I went to their website and the rules update link redirected to the NFHS website.

No. South Carolina is the state that uses FED, but no common sense. Hence, the umpire calls the outs on the missed bases.
