There's an interesting article on BB Ref about this very thing.

My guess is that is what would happen. " PR-PH". |
Looking up the most recent one, in the news article it says this.
Durrington scored the tying run on Damian Miller's first triple in two years, and Miller then scored the game-winning run on Brady Clark's single up the middle. Carlos Lee and Jenkins added RBIs as the Brewers built a three-run lead and Durrington's spot in the batting order came up. According to official scorer Tim O'Driscoll, Durrington struck out to end the inning not as a pinch-hitter or a pitcher or a position player, but as a pinch-runner.

The box score also just lists Durrington as a "
PR".
