I recently attended a tournament. One evening it turned cold. The girls playing were wearing sweats (if they had them) windbreakers, etc. No problem with that, my question stems from the fact that the team we were playing had no numbers displayed on their sweats anywhere. I would like to know if it is not a requirement to have a uniform number on a batter at the time of batting to enable the official scorekeeper to know which batter is batting and to verify that they are in correct order. The umpire at this game did not think this was important.
I would appreciate an official rulebook response. Thank you!!!
