TexBlue,
For this situation, instead of the wistful 10-2-3(m), I prefer to use 2-38-1 : "An out is a declaration by the umpire indicating an offensive player has been retired. Each team is entitled to three outs per inning. (Sitch said two outs, batter out.)

If we use 10-2-3(m) for undoing a declared "out", where the defense quit, should we then use the same thought for undoing a "foul call" after the defense quits playing? In that case would we simply put the better on third, or all the way home? There are no cases in 10.2 to support the use of 10-2-3(m) for the purpose you politely suggest.

Tried to fool me dintcha?
