Batting out of order but not called.
Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2015 5:16 pm
I am just using iscore for fun to track my daughter's college games. So I had no input into the following.
Number 9 batter in the line up makes the last out in the previous inning. Is then the first to bat on next at bat. I am looking at iscore on my phone trying to figure out where I messed up at. (College game, surely the same batter wouldn't bat again.) Can't figure out where I made my mistake. The apparently wrong batter makes the first out of the inning. Next batter (who should have been leading off and was the #1 batter in the line up) lines out for the second out of the inning. Next batter gets up and hits a home run! That is when the coaches from the other team came out to protest batting out of order. But I am assuming by then it was too late. That was my first indication though that I hadn't made a mistake.
So the rest of the game my iscore was one batter off. The only thing I could do was substitute in the batter who was actually batting into the spot in the lineup that they were now batting at. Makes the score card look funny especially at the bottom but I am hoping and for now assuming the players got credit for what they actually did at the plate. Could or should I have done that differently?
