Saw a situation the other day in an NCAA D-I game that confused the heck out of me.
In the lineup submitted to the press box (where I was) an hour before game time, the DP was actually listed in the 10th spot in the lineup. Apparently, at the plate meeting, they made some sort of change that I still don't understand. But in the end, the player listed in the 10th spot never batted and never played the field. It was as if they were batting a straight 9.
The sports information director from the school in question tried to explain it to me, but I still never quite understood it. Any idea how this works?
