i think it was the 3rd inning
Relief pitchers have, on occasion, replaced starting pitchers before the latter has gotten a single batter out. Sometimes the starter just has a REALLY bad day.

Can a pitcher be put into a position on the field after pitching to pitch later in the game?
It depends on the level of play. Some allow that if the starting pitcher is removed from the mound, but put in a defensive position, he can then come back to pitch later in the game, but only once an inning.
What can you conclude if your pitcher is taken out in the eighth inning because you are losing six to four and you score three runs and take the lead in the ninth after a new pitcher is put in?
That's great. What happened in the bottom of the ninth?
Can an Major League Baseball pitcher pitch consecutive games?
Yes, a pitcher can be moved to another position temporarily and then moved back to pitcher. Managers often made use of this strategy during the 1980's, moving a pitcher to a corner outfield position for one batter and then moving him back. As managers started carrying more and more relief pitchers on their rosters the need for this sort of maneuver lessened.
Who is charged with the loss if the team loses in the 9 th inning?
Which ever pitcher is responsible for the runner who scores to lose the game. Say pitcher A gives up a double, and is then replaced by Pitcher B. If pitcher B gives up another double, and the runner on second scores, Pitcher A gets the loss, because he put the scoring runner on base.
The Home team takes the field. The opposing pitcher had dropped ball over between pitching mound and third base can a fielder legally pick up the ball and give to the pitcher?

Can a pitcher pitch one inning by throwing only one pitch?
Not unless the pitcher is just put onto the mound after the bases are already loaded. If he pitches, and there are 2 outs already, and someone catches the batters hit, then yes, he pitched that inning. Or if he pitched and there was a triple play, which would be hard to do unless the other fielders had excellent timing.
In base ballcan you bring in a relief pitcher in the middle of a count?
Yes, you can. The only exception is for the first batter of the game and for the first batter to be faced by a reliever. According to Rule 3.05(a), the starting pitcher shall pitch to the first batter or any substitute batter until such batter is put out or reaches first base, unless the pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the judgment of the umpire-in-chief, incapacitates him from pitching. And according to Rule 3.05(b), if the pitcher is replaced, the substitute pitcher shall pitch to the batter then at bat, or any substitute batter, until such batter is put out or reaches first base, or until the offensive team is put out, unless the substitute pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the umpire-in-chief's judgment, incapacitates him for further play as a pitcher.
What is the purpose of the double switch when substituting a new pitcher?
Generally, a double switch is executed when the new pitcher will be batting in the next inning. The manager will switch another player, usually one who batted late in the previous inning, and place the pitcher in the batting order position of the replaced player and the new player in the batting order position of the replaced pitcher. This means the new pitcher will not be scheduled to bat in the next inning unless the team starts a rally and scores some runs. Most often, a double switch is done by the team that is behind in the game. The manager may want to create a favorable batting matchup with the new player against the other team's pitcher in the next inning. If the pitcher is the first batter in the next inning, the manager may put a player in that batting order position that has good speed, is a good bunter, or some other factor in the hopes that the player will be able to get on base and get a rally started. When the double switching team is behind, the new player is almost always put in to increase offensive potential. If the team that double switches is ahead in the game, it is usually done to place a better defensive player in the game.
