NFHS 3-3-8.

Does 4-3-1-g only apply if the team is already shorthanded?
It reads unable to provide 8 (FP), etc.

Or, is it redundant?

Under forfeits:
"g. cannot provide 8 players (F.P.), 9 players (S.P.) or 10 players (S.P. if an EP is used) in the batting order to finish the game. An out is called in that spot of the batting order (7-4-1). If that player has safely reached base, then the most recent batter not on base is allowed to run for that player, until that player is put out, scores, or the half-inning ends."
