Illegal substition question

[slagothar]

Batting out of order, not illegal substitution.....

Haven't seen this exact scenario discussed:

B4 makes the final out of the inning for the opposing team. Next inning, B4 bats first, gets on base. 1 pitch is thrown to B5 prior to timeout being called. With this situation, B4 is now legal, and B5 is now the proper batter.

However, now the opposing team's batting order is shifted by one batter (couldn't find way to correct on IScore app...). When B4 comes up to bat again, do we protest batting out of order, and is B4 then declared out? Then B5 would bat and they would be back to the original order.

Thanks for the input! Can't find this situation described in the rules.

the opposing team's batting order is NOT shifted by one batter ... since the lineup became legal with the pitch thrown to B5 then all is good ... just cause your app cant handle it doesnt make anything illegal

As stated above, once a pitch was thrown to B5, B4's at bat was legitimized and B5 is now the correct batter. The batting order has not changed, it just moved back one position due to the defense not catching the batting out of order promptly.

GameChanger doesn't have this problem, just use the "Jump to Different Batter" option.
