This is similar to a test question from a local association, please add rule set and appropriate rules for your explanation(s).
Batting order (names not important)
1 # 1 LF
2 # 2 RF
3 # 3 CF
4 # 4 1B
5 # 5 2B
6 # 6 3B
7 # 7 SS
8 # 8 C
9 # 9 DP
10 #10 FLEX
middle of the game, #3 was last completed batter in the prior inning now starting the following inning (same team):
A #7 bats, single to left
B #5 bats, single to left, #7 to third
C #2 bats, fly to short, no advance
D #10 bats (without reporting). On the second pitch #5 steals second. On the fifth pitch, #10 flies out to right scoring #7 and advancing #5 to third.
The defensive coach now appeals (before next pitch):
sitch 1 - BOO only
sitch 2 - unreported sub then BOO
sitch 3 - illegal player
For each of these situations, how do you rule and why, where do you place the runners, and does the order of the appeals (as in #2) affect how many successful appeals can be made on the same play?
