Okay, I cannot help myself, I gotta say it.
 The subsequent batted did not violate the rule. She did not enter the box with an illegal bat, she entered empty handed.  The bat was already there!

Upon further word play review, to paraphrase a former philanderer-in-chief, it depends on what the meaning of "with" is...
You're assuming it means to enter the batter's box with the bat in her possession. Maybe it means the batter entered the box to be with the bat!

No NFHS case play on this. Not the same rule set, but the same rule; in ASA you CANNOT call both out in this case. You would get the last batter, nullify any other advances, and remove the bat, so that the subsequent batter maust get a new bat.
