This one was weird, PONY tourney rules, starters can re-enter same as FED.Bottom 3rd, visiting managers puts 18 in for 1. Top 4, #18's turn ab comes up but #1 enters the box and takes strike 1. Scorekeeper starts yelping bout it, I tell SK to let the managers manage. Well, by this time, home mgr asks me if we got a BOO, I sez, "you tell me", then visiting mgr pulls 1 and sends 18 up to bat.
Now, under obr, a sub is considered to replace another player when they take thier place in the box/field/or pitching mound. Thus, #1, the starter, re-enterd by taking a pitch and #18, by entering again is now an illegsl sub. I did not have time to talk to field directors bout this one...any thoughts???
