Based on a local rule, yes. Our league allows a team to bat/field nine, and you don't have to take an out at the bottom of the lineup. However, if you do that, you're locked into playing with nine for the entire game.

The crux is, you can't alter the number in the lineup after it's been established, and it's established once the lead-off spot bats a second time. That's where I'm going with this.
