illegal Sub

[Gre144]

High School Rules Please.

I.
Batting order is Jones, Smith, White. Smith is up to bat but illegal Substitute Lee Bats for him. The discovery is made while Lee is up to bat.

I believe that Lee would be ejected and the offensive team would be charged an out.

Question Part I.

1) Who would be charged the out, Lee or Smith?
2) Who would be up to bat after Lee is ejected, Smith or White?


II.

Batting order is Jones, Smith, White and Bush. Jones should be up to bat but illegal substitute Lee who normally bats for Smith (and thus is batting out of order in addition to being an illegal sub) hits a single. a) discovery is made before a pitch has been thrown to the next batter. b) discovery is made after a pitch is thrown to the next batter.

Question Part II

3)In situation "a" how many outs would you call, who would you credit the out to(assuming you only called one out) and who would be the next batter?

4) In situation "b" how many outs would you call, who would you credit the out to(assuming you only called one out) and who who would be the next batter?
