You're assuming the kid didn't know. I'll bet she did. I also think she should be disciplined whether she knew or not. I'm not talking about kicking them off the team. Talk to the parents and kid together. Let them know it's illegal and can hurt someone. Let them know that they can get into some serious trouble if someone get hurt. She can't use the bat and if it happens again she'll be cut. The real problem is that the parents will just pick up and play for another team that doesn't care. Very sad!
There is not really any doubt in my mind that the kid knew. She is 8 years old and even if she was told it was shaved, wouldn't know what it meant.
