If you use last out you could end up with a on deck batter on base and now you got real problems. # 5 batter is the last out, the team bats around to the # 3 you gets a hit single, you put number 5 in to CR, # 4 gets a single now you have # 5 on second, # 4 on first and # 5 due up, now what?

Rabbit,
To answer your question by rule (NSA), you would skip the batter who is on base and there is no penalty applied. You merely skip that batter. It is a remote possibility that it may happen but I've been working NSA for about 6 years and have never heard of it happening. Also remember, the CR does not have to be the last out, it can also be any other player not currently in the game.

Rule 7, sec 2d - No base runner shall be removed from the base he/she is occupying to bat in his/her proper place. He/She merely misses his/her turn at bat with no penalty.
the batter following him/her in the order becomes the legal batter.
