USSSA sanction. We batted nine, with 3 subs. sub 1 (S1) came in to pitch; in next half inning, got a base hit, used S2 for courtesy runner. Next inning, S3 comes in game for S1 (RF came in to pitch, S3 to RF). Now, in next half inning, new pitcher gets hit, and coach asks plate umpire about courtesy runner - PU says last completed at bat. We place last completed at bat on base, but opposing team objects, pointing out that we have a sub. So we remove last completed at bat, and put S2 (already was courtesy runner for pitcher position) on base as courtesy runner. Umpires rule that since we inserted last completed at bat as CR, because we had a sub, they ruled the runner out (no pitch had been thrown since base hit resulted in BR reaching base).
Sorry about the long winded explanation; hopefully it made sense......
Coach mistakenly thought that all subs had been entered into game, therefore, tried to insert last completed at bat (asked PU and he ok'd). I believe the proper remedy would be to let S2 in as CR and play ball, but would be interested in other's thoughts. I think the umpire thought our coach was trying some shenanigans to get the CR he wanted. It kinda cost us the game.....
