Does anyone know how Katie Smith was able to be substituted for multiple times and reenter multiple times in yesterday's second game. Did the Cajuns get away with this or is there a new rule.
It was during the second game. Tydelski replaced Smith in centerfield I wanna say around the third inning. Then, when Tydelski's turn to hit came back up, Smith re-entered to hit. The bottom half of that inning, Tydelski returned to center, which she technically couldn't do. The next inning Katie went back out to center, so it was probably just a mixup.
Normally, only the starter can re-enter, so once Katie had re-entered, Tydelski was done. Now, someone else could go out there and take Katie out the lineup again, but not Tydelski.
I'd have to look it up, but I think since Tydelski was only a defensive replacement, the "penalty" had they gotten caught would have just been a ball on the batter at the plate when the infraction was discovered.
Really not a big deal. Sounds like miscommunication between Katie and Jensen as to who was supposed to be in center.
