How did those Michigan Trolls handle it, Stat-Man?

Mick:
DP got on base twice (out of 4 times at the plate).The two times she got on, the opposing coach would announce FLEX was running for DP.
The next time DP was due up in order (after each time the FLEX ran for her), DP batted without reporting back in.
(I even wondered if that was legal too)
Without trying to read the umpire crews' mind, it seemed to me like they were treating the FLEX as if she could be used as a CR for the DP.
I did ask our coach if she wanted to ask the Umpire about this, but she didn't want to be seen as a booger-picker. Monday, I'll be sure to educate her and tell her it might have been worth it
Hmm, I see that in the 2004 Softball Interpretations, Situation #11 covers this exact scenario. Guess I'll add this to my DP/FLEX learning materials
