Scenario 1:
With one out, B2 Sally Smith strikes out. Before the next pitch is thrown, the defensive coach appeals to the umpire that the batter should have been Jane Jones. After conferring with the offensive coach, it is determined that Sally Smith was an unreported substitute for Jane Jones. Mary Molina is due to bat next. What is the call at this point?
Scenario 2:
Same as above, however, after conferring with the offensive coach, it is determined that Sally Smith batted out of order and Jane Smith was the correct batter. Sally Smith is due to bat next. What is the call at this point?
This was something that I saw over the weekend. The call went in favor of the team I was cheering for, and I initially agreed with the call. However, after discussing with a few other people, and taking some time to review the rulebook, I think it was the wrong call.
