I've looked for rules on this and have found that there is nothing to do other than "trust" the other team is telling the truth! Well this team is not very "trustworthy" they had family of team members honking horns behind the outfield when there girls would hit to distract our fielders! If there's no penalty I see no reason to bring it up to the umpire! Way to stressful!!!
Thank you in advance!!!  |
Although there may be some, I can't think of any rule set that does not say that the number is the final determination of the proper batter. It is always the name that counts, there may be penalties for submitting an improper line-up card, but it is the name of the player that takes precidence.
