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.

It actually says "scheduled to bat last in that half-inning"; with no mention of any number so less confusing.
