Played in a 10U tournament this past weekend and had 3 batters called out for throwing the bat after hitting the ball. Of the 3 that were called out, two hit the catcher in the thigh and the third was dropped just behind home plate, hitting the catcher in the shin guards. On the third, the batter had a "swinging bunt" that went down the 1B line, catcher was quick to go after the ball and was actually standing on home plate when the bat hit her.
The last one I could possibly understand a call of batter interference, since the catcher was trying to make a play, but the other two... Can someone pull the rules in ASA that state a batter is out for hitting the catcher with the bat? I can't find it anywhere.
