Being that some of your other answers mentioned a batter "regardless of team", I can only presume this is a social/fun league where your local league might have special local rules.

(I know, I know, "Who says they all aren't social/fun leagues?")
Dan,

Agree. You're the only one up early enough

If there are no substitutes of the proper gender available, the batter is out. This falls under the shorthanded rule, so she is done for that game since it doesn't involve the blood rule.

Each time this player was scheduled to bat, an out will be declared. If another rostered female arrives, she must enter the game immediately.
