Interesting situation from another board. NFHS rules:

The team at bat has 9 players. #2 hits a double and as she is sliding into second and scrapes her leg and is bleeding all over. It can’t be clean up in a reasonable amount of time, so #2 is unable to continue and must be removed 3-3-10 (blood rule).

3-3-10 states that the re-entry rule applies to any player removed from the game due to this (3-3-10) rule. That tells me that a legal substitute needs to enter the game for the player affected by the blood rule.
What if there are no legal substitutes? Either because the team only has the minimum number of players, or all other legal subs have been used.
Can we invoke 3-3-8 and use a "temporary" runner to finish the inning, then the team goes shorthanded on defense?
