When do you finally step in?

[WestMichiganBlue]

In FED ball, when an improper batter completes her time at bat and a legal appeal is made - regardless of what she did - she is removed. If she was put out, the out is removed. If she is safe on base, she is removed from the base. (Its as though she did not exist.)

Then the proper batter (who failed to bat) is called out. The improper batter is returned to her correct place in the order. If she follows the proper batter (who is now out) then she bats again - fresh count. If she is two or more positions down in the order then she goes back to the dugout to await her turn.

All other outs on the play stand. In the above scenaro, if the first or second out of the double play was the improper batter, then her out is removed and there is no double play, just a single out. But the proper batter is called out, so you end up with two outs total.

If there were two runners on base that were put out (and the improper batter was safe), then the improper batter is removed and the double play stands. PLUS the proper batter is out. So you can get three outs on the play in FED ball.
