In Game 4 of the 1918 World Series between the Red Sox and Cubs, starting pitcher Babe Ruth batted 6th in the lineup. Catcher Sam Agnew batted 9th.
If a pitcher leaves a tie game after finishing the 8th inning he cannot get the loss. If his team takes the lead before another pitcher on his team throws a pitch he could be credited with the win. For example, if a pitcher finishes the bottom of the 8th with a tie score and his team takes the lead in the top of the 9th and they keep the lead in the bottom of the ninth, he gets the win. If his replacement throws a pitch in the bottom of the 9th with the score still tied, the pitcher that left after the 8th inning gets a "no decision". If his team takes the lead in the top of the ninth, but they cannot hold the lead in the bottom of the ninth (another tie or loss) the pitcher that finished the 8th inning gets a "no decision". The final win will go to the "pitcher of record" when the winning run is finally scored (even if he only faced the last batter of the inning before the winning run is scored). The pitcher that gives up the winning run gets the loss.
It happened before, the time war (probably) resulted in the eighth Doctor regenerating into the ninth, who kicked off the new series.
They beat the most feared team of the 60's, The Baltimore Orioles in 1969 and in 86' they beat the Boston Red Sox when Red Sox First baseman, Bill Buckner let a ball roll through his legs in the bottom of the ninth inning Scoring the winning run that is true!

The Ninth Amendment was passed on December 15, 1791. passed by 3/4 of the states.
I presume you mean a STARTING pitcher, listed as such on the initial lineup. When a reliever comes in, it's not unusual for the manager to remove a fielder and place the pitcher in the batting order such that he would be the ninth batter the next time his team comes to bat -- meaning the reliever might be anywhere from first to ninth. Even during the regular season, and even when a pitcher is a very good hitter (Don Newcombe hit .359 in 1955, and was used as a pinch hitter 23 times), placing the starting pitcher anywhere but ninth in the initial batting order is EXTREMELY rare (other than Tony LaRussa). The only recorded time this happened in a World Series was Game 4 of the 1918 Series. No surprise -- Babe Ruth was the pitcher, and he batted sixth.
The ninth term in a series is called the "ninth element" or the "ninth member" of the series.
