Shouldn't Baker be the next batter since he follows the now proper batter Abel/Johnson? Abel/Johnson became the proper batter batter after the hit by Charles. If I am incorrect, could you please tell me why Charles is the proper batter?

Greg:
The illegal substitute is out as per 3-1-1, not because he batted out of order. He batted in the proper spot; HE was improper, not his order of hitting.
The batter who follows Able is Baker, but he didn't hit: Charles did. That made Charles the improper batter, and when an improper batter is appealed properly (grin), the PROPER batter (in this case Baker) is out.
Able has been removed from the game once, as you will see from the final sentence of 3-1-1.
I hope I have made this clear now. If not, email me privately, please.
