There could be other situations where a team started w/ more than 9, B9 was ejected and replaced in the lineup with a sub, game continues. Then the sub gets hurt or has to leave and the game continues w/ an automatic out when that batter is due up.

Do I have this right?

Thanx.

Under strict ASA rules, yes, you're correct. Good catch.

A lot of local leagues, however, have rules that supersede this rule, as their emphasis is on participation and not allowing one bad apple to ruin their fun.

Moral of the story? Know where you're calling.
