I had this happen last year. Freshman player had duties of putting down the lines of the varsity game. However, he put both 1st and 3rd in foul territory. When I brought it to the attention of the HC he looked down at 1st and then 3rd and said "Oh, brother.... Hey Jason.. go get the rake and re-do the lines." Funny situation... and I'll bet anything, Jason (and anyone in their dugout paying attention) learned something that day.
IMO, they should have properly re-marked the lines. It's going to save an agrument should a situation arise with the incorrect lines and said ruling with the incorrect lines.
