Time had to have been out even if not declared so the umpire could tend to their duties. If the batter is not in the box and the umpire had not declared the ball live, I think I would have some conversation with my second base umpire and explain that the ball was still dead. Just because the umpire didn't declare the ball live though doesn't keep the runner from being called out. Remember this is also the ump that didn't call time, maybe they weren't going to put it back in play either.
