1st game coming up this Wednesday!!

This is a leftover from last year ....

Coach comes up to me and says, if the next batter (a starter on the lineup) gets on base, I'm putting in a runner for her. Her leg is sore.

Sure enough, she gets to 1st on a walk. Coach calls time and the pinch runner comes in.

Inning is soon over. Player with sore leg trots back on to the field, pinch runner stays on the bench.

I don't see anything in my rule book saying a pinch runner is a substitute or that the player that went to the bench is considered removed.

Is it implied elsewhere?

If the runner in question is F1 or F2 then they would be
entitled to a CR, unless they are the DP. However, even
in this case, the replacement should be reported to the
plate umpire. A CR for the pitcher or catcher does not
count as a substitutions for the player. Some associations
allow the last out of the innining to be used as a runner.
As Ed asked, what rules are you playing under?



Can the pinch runner re-enter ? [B]
