Batting Out of Order Referee By Appeal Rules
When an improper batsman hits safely with runners on base, if the error is properly discovered by the fielding team they must appeal to the umpire. The proper batsman is called out, creating the third out and erasing any runs scored. If fewer than three outs were recorded, runners who scored revert to their original bases.
