Since they have not substituted for the pitcher/catcher when using CR your problem is solved if the umpires know the NFHS rules.
Also remember the CR can not have been in the game and after he is a CR he still have his original entry privileges.

My mistake in originally typing this. My memory was a little foggy and this was a real world situation that happened in our area a few years ago. The Shortstop was a star on the team and came in to pitch the next half inning...hence me referring to him as a pitcher. The original post has been modified....it was the coach trying to substitute a pinch runner for the shortstop (who already re-entered earlier in the game).
