Bret, is there a rules reason for wiping out the count (3-2) accrued by B2 when B3 steps in? I can't find any support for this idea. To me, it's 3-2 when B3 steps in. When she takes a 4th ball, she is now a batter batting out of order who has completed her at bat (via a base on balls). When defensive manager points it out, B2 is out for failing to bat, and B3 is back at the plate, 0-0.
