What is the rule?

What is the rule in high school softball for a batter throwing her bat multiple times and making contact with the empire and catcher?

[RKBUmp]

In NFHS the umpire can issue a team warning for the first incident and after that the next player to throw a bat and I believe the coach are restricted to the dugout.

Assume you mean actual throwing (anger/temper) or just careless losing control.

Careless, definitely not maliciously.

The umpire can warn the team for carelessly throwing the bat. Any future batter who throws her bat will be ejected from the game, per NFHS rules.

No, back a few years ago they changed this from an ejection to a bench restriction.

From the NFHS Improper Conduct Chart:

• Carelessly throwing a bat is a team warning for the first offense with subsequent offenders restricted to the dugout.
• Deliberately throwing equipment is ejection, unless judged to be minor. Then, it's a warning to the offender followed by an ejection if she repeats the conduct.

What's the difference, for players, anyway? AFAIK, players can't really be removed from the premises,because they are (usually) minors and need to be under supervision, so a dugout restriction is practically synonymous with an ejection for a player (except if suspensions are involved, maybe).
