1) Player listed 4th in the batting order comes up to bat out of order as the first batter of the game and hits a single. No appeal.
2) Player listed 2nd in the order comes up to bat and also hits a single. No appeal.
3) Player listed 3rd comes up to bat and after the first pitch becomes the proper batter. She hits a single.
Bases are now loaded. The proper batter is now supposed to be the player listed 4th who is on 3rd base. From an offensive perspective, this situation can't be fixed since the correct batter is now on base, right?
If an appeal is made after the first pitch to the next batter but while the batter is still up, in theory, the correct batter can assume the at bat and retain the count. Since batter #4 is on base, what happens?
Alternatively, given the same situation with bases loaded: the player listed 1st in the order comes up to bat (when the #4 batter should be batting). Hits a grounder to short who makes a play at 2nd and gets the force out of batter #3 coming from 1st. Runner on third scores (batter #4).
Before the next pitch an appeal is made.
If I understand this correctly:
a) The out at second stands (happened before the appeal)
b) Player listed 4th, who was supposed to be batting, is out.
c) Advancements are negated so Player listed 2nd, who is now standing on third base, is put back on second base.
d) Likewise, Player listed 4th (who scored from 3rd) is put back on 3rd?.
So, the player listed 4th both is called out (for batting out of order) and is placed back on 3rd?
