				Flex bats NFHS rules
			 
 
			
			Here is a scenario I had.Line-up is:
 #01 - Suzy  - F5
 #02 - Sally - F8
 #03 - Fran  - F3
 #04 - Jan   - F7
 #05 - Jill  - DP
 #06 - Deb   - F2
 #07 - Ruth  - F4
 #08 - Rita  - F9
 #09 - Mandy - F6
 -----
 #10 - Becky - F1/Flex
 
 First inning is #01 walks, #02 sac bunts, #03 strikes out, and #04 flies out. Other team bats.
 
 Second inning is #05 grounds out, #06 grounds out, and #07 strikes out.  Other team bats.
 
 Third inning is #08 strikes out, #09 grounds out, #10 flies out.  (Yes--#10, the Flex, batted! The offense didn't attempt/announce any substitution.  The defense did not appeal.  The umpire didn't notice.)  Other team bats.
 
 Fourth inning started with #01 getting a base hit.  Immediately, the defense appealed batting out of order.
 
 What is the correct ruling?
