At this point, is each other player then required to play for 6 consecutive defensive outs as if the team only had 12 eligible players? Or would the team have to forfeit since not all uniformed, eligible (at the start of the game) players have gotten a turn to bat (which I can't see anyone ever calling)? What exactly would be the proper ruling here? |
As Rich said.
Also, mandatory play violations are no longer automatic forfeits. That went away about four years ago or so.
