NFHS Rule 7

[WestMichBlue]

WMB, if what you are saying is correct, this is a major change. In the past, Mike's play would have resulted in two outs

In ASA Mike's play results in three outs. R1 at 2B, B-R (improper batter) at 1B, and then proper batter is called out for failing to bat in turn.

In NFHS, the same play results in two outs. R1 at 2B, B-R's out is negated, and proper batter is called out.

Are you saying because the time at bat is negated, the out at second is also negated?

No, only the individual actions of the improper batter are negated. If she struck out, flied out, grounded out, walked, hit a single, was hit by the ball, hit a HR, or was called out on appeal for missing 1B - it didn't happen. But the results of other runners will be adjusted. If they advanced or scored, they will be returned. If they were put out, the out stands.
