Or like the theoretical play in which two runners end up on a base but the defense doesn't play on them but instead starts to pitch to the next batter. Nothing to do but allow the game to continue.
You can't tell them how to play the game, but you'd think somebody at some point would tell them what to do.

Actually GM, speaking FED: there is a case play (8.3.3.B I think) that says that after waiting a sufficient period of time for a play to be made, the umpire should call TIME and declare the trailing runner out.
