| Posted | Discussion |
| April 20 tedchmura Men's 55 4 posts | Looking at the Official SSUSA Rulebook SECTION 7 - Batting 7.1 Batting Order D. The first batter in each inning shall be the batter whose name follows that of the last player who completed his turn at bat in the preceding inning. EFFECT - ยง7.1 B-D: EXCEPT FOR A WRONG BATTER AT BAT, batting out of order is an appeal play that may be made only by the defensive team. The defensive team forfeits its right to appeal batting out of order when one legal or illegal pitch has been made to the following batter, or when the pitcher and all infielders have clearly vacated their normal fielding positions and have left fair territory on their way to the bench or dugout. Can anyone tell me what "EXCEPT FOR A WRONG BATTER AT BAT" means? A bunch of us are scratching our heads! :-) Thank you in advance !! Ted |
