Skipped Batter Forgotten

[RKBUmp]

I have mentioned it before in other posts, but a few years back at nationals we had a team that showed up for pool play with only 8 players. The coach was a tool and insisted it was an appeal play the opposing team had to make. He was told in each and every game it was not an appeal play and the missing batter was out by rule. He refused to keep the umpires informed of the missing batter so we asked the other teams score keeper to please keep us informed. I also made a mental note of the preceeding batters jersey number to remind myself each time she came up we would immediately have an out following her at bat.
