What are the rules governing a thrown bat?

[MNBlue]

I was working a pool play game in OKC last week and had a young lady launch her bat, which narrowly missed F2 and myself. Being pool play, it was a fairly relaxed, almost scrimmage-like atomosphere; AND, being OKC, it was REALLY HOT. I told the coach that I would like him to let the young lady know to be careful with her bat, because she nearly hit me with it. I then told the coach, that if I get hit with a bat, SOMEONE is buying me ice cream. The coach then yells to the young lady that she hit me with the bat and has to buy me ice cream. She yells, "Chocoate or vanilla?"

Didn't have a problem with flying bats after that.
