This is the problem with "house league" rules. The powers that be don't think of consequences for when the rule is violated.
My interpretation in your case would be that the lineups are official when exchanged. Since one team only had 9 on their lineup, they are bound to batting 9 for the entire game. Since the extra hitter wasn't brought to your attention earlier in the game by either team, his actions in previous innings stand.
After the extra hitter is brought to your attention, I've got an unreported substitute for the first hitter in the lineup. Play still stands.
Now tell me what really happened!
