B10 or B1 is 1st batter next inning, & B9 goes to 2nd.

I believe I am with Chuch on this. This weekend i our State Clinic. We had Henry Pollard here. He gave an example of this play.
Am I right on this Jel?

The play Henry gave had the defense appealing the next half inning as I recall. Because they had left the field prior to making the appeal they lost the right to the appeal. If it were done this way, B9 would have been the last legal batter (legal due to no appeal in prior inning) making B10, (or B1 if batting 9) the next legal batter starting the eight inning, and B9 would start at 3B for the ITB.
This case has a proper appeal, Mike has the proper answer.
The coach took a gamble and lost.
