NCAA - An unreported player #11 pinch hits gets a single and the coach wants to put the starter back in #15. At this point the defensive coach gets wind of the unreported player so we have an out. The next defensive inning the coach puts in #23 to play defense. My question is this. Was #15 back in the game? She was actually standing on first base when #11 was called out for not reporting. The coach wanted to re-enter her for #23 later and I would not let her.

Q. Was #15 back in the game? A. Maybe.
Sub #11 was in the game. Starter #15 reentered if the caoch reported #15 after the #11 pinch hit
before the defensive appeal. If the out was the third out and #23 entered to play defense before any other plays, then #23 was a sub for #11 and #15 can still reenter. If the out was not the third out and #11 stayed in the game, then #15 can still reenter as long as #15 is not reported as a reentry after #11 completed a turn at bat (in this case, the pinch hit). If #15 actually reentered after the #11 pinch hit, then #15's reentry is used because #11 was officially in the game and #15 can not reenter again after #23 replaces her (#15).
In NFHS, the sub #11 comes out of the game on the appeal and must be replaced. The reentry of #15 would still depend on the outs, but some sub or reentry must be made at the time of the DQ.
