Next time through, B6 completes her at-bat, then B8 comes to the plate. B8 completes at-bat, then defensive coach protests batting out of order.
Is there a such a thing as an unreported line-up compression???
And if there is, what is the penalty???  |
If umpires did not know B7 was removed, she is still in the lineup. It does not matter if the defense knows unless the umpires do.
