I wrote down the wrong number for one of my players on the official lineup card. The player in question played 2B for the first few innings. I brought the 2B in to pitch in the fourth inning with a runner on 3B. After her first pitch the other team protested.
The result was an illegal pitch and the runner scored.
It was PGF rules (HS rules).
I argued that she wasn't an illegal substitute as she was already in the game (defensive change). I thought at most it should have been a warning to the coach. I reported her to the ump when I made the change (moved her from 2B to pitcher) with her correct number and no one said anything until after the first pitch.
It ultimately didn't matter but it never sat well with me.
