BZ,
I believe he was comparing the NCAA rule to that in ASA, where if it were BOO, the strikeout would stand along with the out assigned to the batter who failed to bat.
Of course, maybe that confusion is why the coach appealed it prior to the next batter. Maybe she, also, thought she was going to get a free out, but NCAA rules do not allow the umpire to record any outs on a properly appealed BOO.

In BOO, the proper batter is called out, and the following batter comes to bat. You can't get a double out on BOO. You get either the out that the improper batter made, or the proper batter when appealed.
Batting order: Able, Baker, Charles, Davis, Edwards, Fox...
One out, Baker due up. Charles bats instead, strikes out. Defense appeals BOO (why, when they had the out already?). Appeal upheld. Baker called out on BOO (Charles strikeout is wiped off), two outs, Charles comes to bat.
