At this point does that team now have to play short-handed because the 3 players on the bench can't sub in for the 5th batter ?

It's the first time this has happened in one of my games and was a little wobbly on this sitch........

Unfortunately, well... Yeah. Coach took a gamble and lost by not holding onto a sub.

However, some leagues and friendly tourneys may have provisions for something like this, but they would have gone over it at the umpire's meeting in the morning.
