Tie Breaker
ASA Tie Breaker Rule being used in NFHS game (Adoption in MN)
This may be an old discussion, but I am relatively new to this board, so here goes.
Situation: Top of 8th, tie breaker being used, fourth batter in the order is scheduled to lead off. Coach 'misunderstands' the PU when the PU tells the coach that the 9th scheduled batter in the order should start at second base. Coach sends ninth batter in the batting order to second base to start the inning. Defense realizes immediately that the incorrect player is on second. Batter, fourth in the order, sacs the incorrect runner to third. Defense now appeals that the incorrect runner is on third.
What, if any, is the penalty to the offensive team?
Thanks for educating us.
