Injury / Substitute

[DRJ1960]

JV coach has played all subs. Late in game a player is injured and there is no eligible sub to replace her. Play with 8? Allow sub who was previously in a different spot in batting order?

My understanding is play with 8. But I am being told there is an injury exception that I cannot find.

Are you thinking of the CR rule?

A player who has occupied a spot in the lineup can never occupy a different spot.

There are rule sets that have a provision for replacing an injured player (LL is one).

FED isn't one of them.

Thanks, guys.

There is (at least) one exception in NFHS that I'm aware of. Once again, the rule is somewhat cloudy, and this one seems to combine 2 different scenarios into one category.

Rule 4-3 ART. 1 ... A game shall be forfeited to the offended team by the umpire when a team:

g. cannot provide 8 players (FP) in the batting order to finish the game. An out is called in that spot of the batting order (7.4.1). If that player has safely reached base, then the most recent batter not on base is allowed to run for that player, until that player is put out, scores, or the half-inning ends.

PONY has a special provision as well. if they have no eligible subs they can use the player last removed from the game with some restrictions
