The defensive coach finally realizes that Jones didn't bat in the correct order in the 3rd inning and calls for the enforcement of an illegal substitution right after Jones hits a homerun and before the next pitch.

1) Does Jones illegal status still exist thus nullifying the homerun, and causing an ejection and an out?

or

2) Does the homerun count because Jones is now batting in the proper order?

Gre144,
144? That's gross.
Jones illegal status disappeared after the next pitch to another batter when he batted out of turn in the third inning.
Allow the homer in the seventh.
