Pinch runner for a courtesy runner?

[umpharp]

You're post was a little confussing, but from what I gather you may have made a mistake.

A runner who is used as a CR can not enter the game or run for anybody else during that half inning.
Once #8 was used as the CR for the catcher, she was done for that half inning. She can enter the game as a normal sub and go in for the pitcher when that team goes back on defense.

What the coach could have/should have done was to place another player as a CR for the pitcher (assuming she got hurt after getting on base and not while still at bat.) then put #8 in as a sub at the start of the next half inning. OR the coach could have put another sub into the game for the pitcher....then sub in #8 at the start of the next half inning.
