Older, somewhat wiser, and wondering

This was a church league, so I very much suspect that the defensive coach had no idea of what to do. Did the league even use carded umpires during the regular season? In my experience, these kinds of leagues don't know the etiquette for how to handle such situations, and that allows cheating coaches to get away with it.

I think I would be very much inclined to ask the defensive coach if there is a problem. If he gives any response indicating that he knows they've batted out of order, then I have an appeal.

Then you would have joined the ranks of those that (as you so aptly put it), "have no idea what to do"!!
