What is the ruling when two eligible courtesy runners, Jones and Smith, run for F2 across different innings?

The situation described involves the use of courtesy runners for the catcher, which is typically allowed under NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) rules. When two different eligible courtesy runners, such as Jones and Smith, are used in different innings for F2 (the catcher), this action is perfectly legal as long as each runner is eligible and the substitutions are made according to the game rules.

The ruling allows each team to use a courtesy runner for the catcher (F2), and it does not restrict who can be a courtesy runner in different innings. This means that the coach can choose different players to serve as courtesy runners for the catcher in successive innings without any violation of the rules, as long as they adhere to the eligibility requirements for courtesy runners.

The other options do not accurately reflect the NFHS rules regarding courtesy runners. Thus, stating that this action is legal aligns with the rules and clarifies that there are no restrictions on using different eligible players in separate innings.
