Section 2. BATTING ORDER.
D. If batting out of order is discovered:
2. After the Incorrect batter has completed a turn at bat and before a legal or illegal pitch to the following batter, or before the pitcher and all infielders have vacated their normal fielding positions and have left fair territory: or on the last play of the game, before the umpire leaves the field of play:
EFFECT: - .
a. The improper batter's time at bat is negated.
b. The player who should have batted is out.
c. Any advancement or score of a runner as a result of the improper batter is negated. Runners not called out must return to the last base occupied at the time of the pitch. Any runner, who is called out prior to the discovery of the infraction remains out.
d. The next batter is the player whose name follows that of the player called out for failing to bat.
EXCEPTION (Co-Ed only): If the incorrect batter is called out as a result of their time at bat, and is scheduled to be the proper batter, skip that player and the next person in the line-up will be the batter.


Changes are underlined.

As I understand it:
What this does is takes away one of the possibilities for the triple play, where incorrect B-R is retired at 1B on a double play, e.g. 6-4-3. However, you can still get a triple play if the double play did not involve the incorrect batter, such as R1 retired at 3B and R2 retired at 2B.

Also while this aligns with NFHS, I thought I heard that it is still different from NCAA.
