Fed Rules. Sitch: Bases Loaded, 3-1 count, pitcher pitching from the windup. 2 outs, bottom of the last inning, score tied. As the pitcher starts his windup, the batter catches a bug in the eye. Not being able to see, he backs out of the batters box saying something like "ochie mama". At the time he left the batters box (both feet), the pitcher still had the ball in his hand, but continues the pitch, but with the distraction, throws it over the backstop and out of play. What's the ruling - game still on or game over?
