Agreed, and that is what I instructed my co-workers to do in the future. But I also confirm with the opponents.

So, not knowing any of this in your sitch, I don't think we can answer the question.
Incorrect player on second base was a starter in the ninth position in the batting order and had never left the game.

With this in mind, using NFHS 3-4-2-c-Pen, we should have the illegal substitue restricted and all play stands. I'm guessing that the proper player should now be place on third, since we have had a legal or illegal pitch thrown?
