After pitching 6 innings in our North Carolina High School game, our starter was replaced by the reliever...but before he took the mount to pitch, his spot in the batting order came up. He got a hit; but we were told the the runner for the pitcher could not be used because he has not thrown a pitch yet.

Please explain how the new pitcher was substituted in and then had an at bat before entering the game. Are you suggesting that the umpire accepted a projected substitution?

Jimmy, I suppose his team was batting in the bottom of the 6th (or top of 7th) and the starting pitcher was substituted by the would-be reliever, who then got a hit. The umpire would not allow a CR for this would-be reliever.
