NFHS unreported sub penalty
Not wanting to hijack the "clarification" thread...
I attended an NFHS rules discussion today. At one point we were discussing substitutions and re-entries.
I won't get my rule, umpires', and case books until next week, so going mostly by memory. This is specific to the penalty for unreported subs.
Two examples:
Bottom of the 7th, tie game. Unreported S1 hits an over the fence HR. Once she scores, the defense protests that she is an unreported sub.
Bottom of the 7th, visitors up by 1 run; 2 outs; R1 on 1B. B4 hits a long fly ball to the outfield fence where unreported sub playing F8 leaps up at the fence and catches the ball for the final out. The ball would have clearly gone over the fence had she not caught it. Before the umpires leave the field, the offense protests that F8 is an unreported sub.
Game over in each case or not?
Application of penalty(ies) moot or not?
Feel free to include/compare to USA and/or NCAA.
Thanx.
