Speaking ASA
That depends on what happens during the period of occurance. In ASA, you cannot call the runner out until they have entered dead ball territory, OR are aided by someone other than a live runner. So you hope that she runs to the dugout to get her glove and return the helmet. If someone meets her with her equipment, you hope that the coach or another player lays hands on the runner.
The defense has no right to appeal once all the infielders including the pitcher and catcher have left fair territory. If know one notices, you tell the catcher to throw the ball down and move on with the game. Once you get that first pitch, legal or illegal, any objection is moot.
Of course, no matter how you handle it, you will only be half right :-)
