What's The Call

[Gulf Coast Blue]

Speaking ASA:

Bases loaded, no outs. B5 is due to bat, but B7 goes to the plate. With a 1-1 count, B7 hits into a 6-4-3 double play, as R1 crosses the plate and R2 advances and stays at 3B. The manager instructs his team to request time immediately. As soon as the plate umpire is satisfied all play is complete, he grants the request for time.

The manager informs the PU that he would like to appeal the actions of B7 for batting out of order.

What is the call?


First of all......with Bases loaded and no outs.....I am going to have B4 be the proper batter.....NOT B5.....

Also I am assuming defensive manager.......Sooooooo.........

B4 (not B5) is out, and all runners must return to the last base legally held at the time of the pitch to the illegal batter.....

R1 back to third, R2 to 2nd, and R3 to 1st with 1 out.

B5 should be the propper batter.

If I messed something up on the Batters........I appologize.....but, I don't see how you can have a B5 without an out.
