One thing I don't like is the wording that the PU used in this case. "9th scheduled batter should start on 2nd base" I know what he/she meant, whoever will bat 9th this inning, but the 9th scheduled batter is whoever the 9th batter on the lineup card is can be an easy mistake.
Wording I use is to official scorekeeper, or home team if no official book "who is due up this inning? (#4) ok, who bats before her in the lineup? (#6) Ok then let's place #6 on 2nd base." Then I check with the other teams book, "you got #4 up to bat and #6 is in the lineup spot before her, right?" (yes) Ok then we have #6 on 2nd to start this inning.
