Bat the bench rules

[Dakota]

Sam,

No, she did not complete her turn at bat. The PU tried to have the #10 batter come up to bat and assume the count. The defensive coach insisted on an appeal to the TD.

The prevailing opinion of all concerned is that the defensive coach was a jerk. In order to get a win in the first game of pool play fer cryin' out loud, he caused another team to be disqualified and sent home.

I think the state organization got hoist on their own petard of sloppy rule writing. (BTW, for something completely different, look up the etymology of "petard" some time -- gives new insight to the meaning of being hoist on one's own petard!)
