First run through, second or last, it doesn't matter. By rule, it is always the name that overrides. Numbers aren't even required on the official line-up given to the umpire. They may be given as a courtesy, or to aid in the administration of the games (subs, etc.)
The position belongs to the batter- the person- and not the jersey.
Correct the number on the score card and play on.
(See ASA 3-6-D, which covers numbers on jerseys, and 7-2 which notes the batting order is determined by name, not number.)
