It doesn't have to be an injury. The player can leave for ANY reason, whether to bury his/her grandmother to pick up a loaf of bread for lunch. As long as it wasn't due to being ejected, the team can play shorthanded.

Oops... I misspoke there. Thanks for catching that, Irish!

Had local rules on the brain too much.

ejected = automatic out when his spot comes up in the order

pick up kids, bury grandmother, or buy loaf of bread, container of milk or stick of butter = no penalty

right?

No, ejected = game over, forfeit.

Anything else = out

No. Ejection and no subs available = forfeit.

Pick up kids, bury grandmother, leave to fight zombie invasion = auto out whenever spot comes up in line-up.
