Yabbut, doesn't the batter swinging at the illegal pitch cancel? Rule 6.7 Effect D. If a batter swings at onr contacts any illegal pitch,it is nullified and all play stands.

'Cept of course for the little matter of the "no pitch" call.

The defense may have attempted to cheat, but the offense attempted to take advantage.

So there!
