Ruling

[Dakota]

I know the sitch was indicated as NFHS, but since I posted a BOO ruling based on ASA, this response is ASA (I'll get to NFHS later...)

Correct.

and now wouldn't B2 come to bat with a "fresh count" not one stike, & certainly not the victim of a strike out on one pitch.

No, because if you are considering B2 as coming to bat with a fresh count, then it is not BOO. The BOO comes in when B2 comes to bat to finish the incomplete at-bat of B1, hence BOO (batting in B1's spot). With ASA, the outs made on the play stand, including an out by the out-of-order batter. Hence, B1 is out on the appeal. B2 is out through ordinary play (struck out). B3 is due up since B2 is skipped in the order, having made an out. (7-2B EFFECT 2c EXCEPTION {whew!})
