Redesignate the DP?

[DaveASA/FED]

Ok had a 16U A ASA tourney this weekend. First off PU and I discuss the manly nature of the coach using the Flex / DP with only 10 players on the team. Top of first inning SS collides with runner from 2nd going after hit ball for an INT call 3rd out of the inning and they hit hard....both down, runner gets up fielder is hurt, seperated her shoulder (found out later after she got back from hospital). So yep you guessed it she was not the flex or the DP so now we have a shorthanded team. Coach wants to redesignate the DP as the injured girl so the flex can bat for her....we inform him that isn't possible he has a fit, mild considering it was his daughter that is now on the way to the hospital, but he insists you can do that well a few minutes later and a UIC consult he agrees we are wrong but it won't change so we go on. So the question....Is there any rule set where you can redesignate the DP once the game has started???

Also side note shorthanded team won 6-0, one run came with 2 outs runner on 3rd and there was an illegal pitch when the F2 jumped outside the catchers box once the F1 started her wind up but prior to releasing the ball, trying to intentionally walk to get to the automatic out that was next in the lineup. Ya pitching coach got a trip to the parking lot following that discussion......
