No. If B stays in the game, the ONLY batting lineup spot he may occupy is the 5 spot. 3-1-4, 3rd to last sentence.

I agree with the NFHS rule but am inquiring about OBR.

The reason I posed the question is after reading my J/R I was confused because there doesnt seem to be an explanation of the situation.

This is what J/R writes:

Eliot DH 5th spot in order
Grant LF 7th spot in order
James Pitcher
King - on the bench

King is the reliever and James goes to left field: loss of DH role (and the DH, Eliot). King must bat in the DH spot; because Grant is replaced James enters the seventh slot. [Suppose Grant is replaced, James enters the seventh slot.]

That is my source of confusion. Can the coach make intersection substitutions of King and James in the 5th & 7th spots in the order or is King locked into the 5th spot, replacing the old DH? Roder clearly writes that King MUST bat in the 5th spot but offers no further discussion.

From the PBUC "blue" manual:

2.4 Designated Hitter

If a game pitcher is switched from the mound to a defensive position, this move shall terminate the DH's role for the remainder of the game. The pitcher just removed MAY bat in the DH spot in the batting order; or, if more than one defensive change is made, the pitcher may bat in place of any one of the substituted players (manager shall designate to the umpire.)

This excerpt from the PBUC manual seems to contradict the example given by Roder. Please explain...????
