top of inning, sixth place hitter is due up, but seventh place batter bats and reaches first. Sixth place hitter enters box, defense appeals. Sixth place hitter is declared out and we bring seventh place hitter, who is on first, back to bat. Correct?
Now, same scenario with appeal made after first pitch to sixth place hitter. Improper batter becomes proper batter. Since he is the sixth place batter's actions are now legal, the batting order should pick up with the name following the legalized improper batter. The problem is that this batter is at first base. After the legalized improper batter's time at bat is completed, do we skip down to the eighth place hitter and leave the seventh place hitter on base?
