Just when you think you have it straight. I had a discussion with a local, and well-respected, umpire the other night who made me question whether I understand batting-out-of-order for a few of the various sanctioning bodied under my daughter plays.
SITUATION: R1 at 1st. One out. Improper B3 comes to bat when it is B2's turn. B3 reaches on a fielder's choice as R1 is forced out at 2nd. At the conclusion of the play, the defense claims that B3 batted out of order.
QUESTION: Who is out? Where do you place the runners? And who bats next?
Please answer this for ...
FED, ASA, and NSA
Thanks!
