9-2-2
The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bound so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched.

4-31
A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball to another player.

It's too bad there's no definition of "bats" (other than what's in my belfry), but I've always taken it to mean "with an open hand".

I beg to differ......

NFHS rule 4-15-1 defines a "bat" as when a player intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s).

When looking for definitions, look in "Definitions".

Sorry - I'm going to Cleveland for vacation and I was trying to get into character.
