NFHS Rule Book Typo?
Reference FED rule 7-4-14, it is batter's interference if she throws her bat on a swing, and interferes with a fielder attempting a play. No problem there.
But then in the Penalty section, Art 14 is NOT listed as a situation where the ball is dead immediately. Is this an intentional omission or mere oversight? I can't imagine why we would leave the ball Live in this scenario.
