Ok scorekeepers, the DP/Flex thread opened up a scoring question. How would you score the following: (Coaches, #3 is an excellent training opportunity)
1. Runner on 1st base, no outs. Batter A is supposed to be up however batter Z is batting in her place unreported. Batter Z hits a single to RF and reaches 1st base safely. R1 reaches 3rd base safely. The defense appeals for an incorrect batter before the next pitch. How is this scored?
2. Runner on 1st base, no outs. Batter A is supposed to be up however batter Z is batting in her place unreported. R1 steals second base. Batter Z hits a single to RF and reaches 1st base safely. R1 reaches 3rd base safely. The defense appeals for an incorrect batter before the next pitch. How is this scored?
3. Runner on 1st base, no outs. Batter A is supposed to be up however batter Z is batting in her place unreported. Batter Z hits a single to RF and reaches 1st base safely. R1 reaches 3rd base safely. The defense does not catch the batting order mistake. How is this scored?
4. Bottom of seventh inning, 2 outs, R1 at 2nd base, R2 is on 1st base. Defense is up by 1 run. Batter A is supposed to be up however batter Z is batting in her place unreported. Batter Z hits a double to RF and reaches 2nd base safely. R1 and R2 score, Offensive team starts celebrating, defensive team walks off the field. After all of the defense is in the dugout, the defensive manager is informed by the team scorekeeper that the last batter was the incorrect batter. Defensive manager approaches the umpires, who are trying to get off the field. What is the correct ruling and how is it scored?
