Just a guess, but maybe they were using a CBO and there's a rule that "anyone who comes late gets added to the bottom of the CBO".
So, the manger turned in a line-up as "A, B, C, (SKIP D) E, F, G, H, I, J, K"
So, If A, B, C make outs in the first, then E is the proper batter to lead off the second. When D appears at the plate, he's batting out of order. The official scorekeeper shouldn't point it out, but once it's discovered, then E takes his proper place, and D gets inserted at the bottom of the order (after K)
