This has happened to me as well...
The Flex sees her name on the line up in the tenth position and goes out to bat. If the coach isn't paying attention, she takes her turn at bat. Then the number 1 batter comes up and takes her turn. Granted, they should understand the position better than that, but, stuff happens.
So, I am curious about what be done in these situations.
1) OP's situation that the Flex makes the third out ending the inning and it is brought up by the defense? Is the Flex an Illegal batter, an improper sub, or what? Who leads off the next inning?
2) I guess it would be the same thing if Flex made a first or second out, but the situation was noticed before #1 takes a pitch.
3) Flex hits safely, and is brought up before #1 takes a pitch.
3) The game continues because #1 and #2 bat in turn and only then does someone bring up the issue? (When I saw this happen, the score keeper had to put the flex's batting results on the 10th line)
4) The error is caught by the defense while Flex is still in the batters box?
