I'm sure this will be easy for one of you. I'm close, need a final tweak.
I have a table of kids names with batting order in column1 (B3:B16), Inning # in row1 (C2:H2) and position they are playing each inning (1B, 2B, SS, etc.) scattered throughout the table.

I'd like to create a unique cell for each fielding position, and be able to change a separate drop-down selector for the inning (in B18), and have the kids name populate in that cell. 1st inning is working, but not when I try to expand beyond the first column. Do I need to convert to an array?

=INDEX($B$3:$B$16,MATCH("LF",$C$3:$C$16,0),MATCH($B$18,$C$2:$H$2,0))

Thanks for updating your profile, another option is
Excel Formula: 
=FILTER($A$2:$A$15,INDEX($B$2:$G$15,,MATCH($B$18,$B$1:$G$1,0))="LF")

I'm happy that worked for you. But it is using short form for inning and some unnecessary functions because of that.
Here is a little cleaner version, and @Fluff 's version is very clean.
