gary.............
This sounds like a honest screw-up to me........was the pitcher on the team roster and just accidentally left out of the line-up?
They have got to be put somewhere on the card..........had the pitcher played defensively and then came into bat.......to many what ifs.
In your scenerio.........I would have allowed the proper batter in the order to come to the plate to resume the count of the improper batter (the Pitcher whos name was left off the card)........I would have inserted the pitcher into the lineup in the last batting place for a defensive player (10th spot).
I would NOT have ruled an out.........I would NOT have removed the pitcher as an unannounced sub.........(although that could be a possibility)
Arggggggghhhhhhhhhh...............there are too many possibilities here...........first of all .......... what rules are you playing under? ASA, USSSA, ???
Secondly......if the 11th player was marked as an EP.......the ump screwed up by not counting.......
Give us more info.
