Is it possible that player was the DP but had entered the game on defense for another player and was incorrectly listed? I've seen that happen before and whoever is in charge of the broadcast or scoreboard thinks that the player the DP entered for swaps places and becomes the new DP. Or they just messed up the rule lol.

We went through this in detail last year with a Kentucky lineup and could never figure out what the heck happened.
In the past when something similar happened and I tried to figure it out my conclusion was the broadcasters had the lineup wrong- if the DP had started the game in the field (which is allowed) then what happened was possible. So I figured maybe the broadcasters had incorrectly assumed the player in the batting order who was not on the field in the first inning was the DP.

I remember that. Seen some strange stuff happen on occasion with college lineups.
