This happened in a JV game today. I don't know which specific ruleset they use. The other team put a new rightfielder in to start the inning and did not announce it. The second batter hit a blooper to rightcenter and tried to stretch it into a double. The RF fielded it and threw the batter/runner out at second. Our coach argued that since the RF did not enter the game properly, the play should not have counted. The umps ruled the play stood.
It seems like there should be some penalty for not announcing a sub, otherwise what is the point of a rule requiring subs to be announced? What's the correct ruling?
