NFHS rules.....runner on second....coach sends in a pinch-runner for him late in game.....the player the coach picks to pinch run is a starter who has been in the game all along.......this is an illegal substitute but....(and I am not sure why they did this) but it was not caught by us and the opposing coach questioned it after his pitcher threw 2 pitches....here lies my question.....is an illegal substitute an illegal substitute at any time he is discovered? Is there anything to the "must be discovered and questioned before the next thrown pitch?" I know this is probably pretty basic stuff but it is giving me a headache. We called the substitute out and that ended the inning. I hesitated at first because of the timing of the discovery. Thanks for your input!
