Who is "we"? The game umpires? The school's head coach so he/she can show the umpires? The school so it has it on file?

What number did you change? You said you didn't have a #4 on the line-up. Did you have a #14? If the coach inadvertently said 4 but it should have been 14, and you had a 14 on the line-up card, there is no violation that requires a warning.
