I think you could do either of two things:
A) Just replay the down
B) Treating it like an inadvertent whistle. Give A the option of repeating the down or taking the results of the play up until the point of chaos. Come to think of it, the second I saw two balls and I didn't know which one was "live", I'd probably be on my whistle anyway--inadvertent or not (I'll bite the bullet for the sake of the kids)
It seems to me in a situation like this it's the only way you can be fair. It's not fair to put points on the board on either side.
I also agree with the earlier point that I don't want to assume ANYTHING like this. Unless I CLEARLY saw someone INTENTIONALLY throw a ball onto the field, I've got nothing. Who's to say someone didn't run into the ball boy and one of the balls he was holding popped out?
