Why not just note that the batter intentionally tossed the bat where she tossed it - and call interference.

That is a course of action. But given that it was clear there was no intent involved, it would be a hard sell.

Since when would intent be required for INT?
OTOH, this could simply be a case of discarded equipment resulting in nothing.

These are college level players who supposedly know what they are doing. I do not think it would be that hard a sell.
