The Visitor's HC notifies the PU that Lewis is batting for Davis when Davis's spot in the lineup comes up to bat in the top of the 3rd inning. The top of the 3rd inning ends and Lewis remains in the game for Davis at F3 and Davis takes Howard's position at F9. After one pitch in the bottom of the 3rd inning the Home HC informs the PU that Davis has taken Lewis's position at F9.

RULING: What say you?

MTD, Sr.

Where does it say he was accepted?

If so, the PU should not have accepted the substitution!

I'm assuming the Home HC in the OP is meant to mean VHC. At which point, C would apply.

Is there a CB play? Where is MTD?
