During their game, they substituted their power hitters each inning with a fast runner, and then re-entered the hitters the next time they came up. Is this legal? I saw it at least 5 times. The rule in our league is one pinch runner per game unless otherwise agreed upon by the opposing team. What is the rule for substituting in this capacity and a players re-entry into a game. I need to be ready for this should it come up tomorrow night.

Each player, starter or sub, may re-enter
once.
The "power hitter" can be replaced on base with a sub/pinch runner and then re-enter. If done a second time, the starter "power hitter" may not re-enter.
