ASA Question #27

[tcannizzo]

Interesting that this has not been brought up yet:

27) Bottom of the 7th inning, on the first pitch, B1, an unreported substitute hits a homerun for the apparent winning run. Before the umpires leave live ball territory, the defense notifies the umpire about B1.

a. Homerun stands since the ball became dead on the homerun
Rule 4.6.C.3 - Effect - all runners will be returned to the bases occupied prior to the pitch, B1 is DQ'd and called out.

b. Game is over
There is only one out

c. B1 is an illegal substitute
B1 is an unreported substitute

d. Legal since a pitch was made
This is just wrong

My answer: None of the above...but that is not an option on the test.
