Ruling on 11 man line-up

Question
I was recently playing in a ASA league game. The other team had 11 hitters in the line-up and no subs on the bench. One of the field players was removed from the game for not having the proper uniform on. He did not have a number on his shirt. This was not noticed till the 3rd inning. The ump ruled that the player spot in the line-up is an out. I thought that since they started with all players in the line-up they had to finish with all of them in the line-up or forfeit. What is the ruling in this situation?

Answer
Hi Alejando,

this is ok, they can play "shorthanded" and take an out in the batting position.  They could not play 2 players short though

The only time you cannot play shorthanded is upon "ejection" of a player.  Please don't confuse ejection with disqualification which happened to this player.
