Author TOPIC: Batting out of Order

Entry #: 4212450
B3 erroneously bats in place of B1, and the batting infraction is not detected by anyone until after a pitch to B4. Who is now the correct batter?

If B4 is the proper batter after a pitch is thrown, what would happen if noticed before a pitch was thrown?

RULING: Since B4 follows B3 in the batting order B4 is now the correct batter. Neither B1 nor B2 may legally bat until their turn comes again in the batting order.
(1-BATTING ORDER 7-2)
