At this point, the defensive coach asked for time to protest the BOO.
I was on the bases and after a short discussion, I heard the PU declared the runner on first base out. I'm standing out there wondering what's going on. My initial thought was that we had an unreported sub. Once he invited me in to the discussion, I learned that the defense had protested the BOO. No pitch had yet been thrown to the next batter.
What should have happened? I'll respond after some replies. There's one bit in the rule that I'm wondering about.
Thanx.

Proper batter out. Improper batter at bat negated. R1 returns to 2nd.
