In our situation in the OP where the runner from 3rd scored on a wild pitch which was ball three, the run should have counted.
At that point, I think the defensive coach was screwed because if she had appealed BOO at that point, the correct batter simply would have come to bat and assumed the ball/strike count.
In my hypothetical scenario where the improper batter received ball 4 and got in a rundown to allow the runner from 3rd to score, the improper batter had completed a turn at bat. And, on the last pitch of that at bat is when she became a BR and the runner scored from third. The appeal at that point would have sent the runner back to third base.
Hopefully, I'm getting this right.
Thanx for all the inputs and discussion.
