It might be that a correct answer can not be determined, because any choice depends on an assumption not specified in the rules. Deciding requires assuming that either (1) the DEFO was batting for the DP (out of order) and did not report; or (2) that the DEFO batted illegally as B10 even thought that is "impossible"; or (3) the DEFO was an illegal sub for B1.


IGNORE THIS, SEE BELOW:
As the case was presented, it specifically said #2. Even without that, #2 is the easiest to believe; so if I had to decide, it's #2. That means DQ the DEFO, replace her with a substitute and do nothing with B1 or DP. Even if there are no remaining subs, the DEFO can be replaced by the DP.
