The defense can appeal:
  • Too Early (While B6 is still at bat) -- the correct batter (B4) takes the place of the incorrect batter and assumes the count.
  • Too Late (After a pitch to B7) -- B6 now becomes the correct previous batter and whoever is next in the lineup bats
  • Just Right (After B6 ends his at bat and before a subsequent pitch) -- B4 is out and B5 bats.
As I thought, same as softball (for me, I know you don't have that)
