The offense's time at bat is over when 3 putouts are made. The half innning is over. See definitions 2:00 INNING and 2:00 OUT. 7.10d ALLOWS the defense to make an advantageous 4th out appeal on a play in which the 3rd out was made. The "appeal" takes precedence in determining the 3rd out. There is no rule that allows the offense to do anything, except change sides, after a 3rd out.
