I had almost the exact same thing as DUKAT's post yesterday in the last game before the championship game.
I actually thought someone had beaten me to posting this situation on the board. But, it is a little different.
The starting catcher was pulled from the catcher's position and placed in Center Field in the 3rd inning. In the 5th inning, the girl got a hit and reached 1st base safely. The coach told my partner that he was going to use a Courtesy Runner for his catcher. The PU allowed it and we continued. After the Courtesy Runner scored, the defensive coach protested the player, saying she was placed into the game as a Courtesy Runner for a player who was not a catcher or a pitcher. To drive the point home, he pointed to the on deck batter who had the catcher's shin guards on. This girl had been the catcher for the last 2 innings. My partner, a little red faced, came to me and explained the situation and wanted to know what to do now.
What do you guys think?
