ASA State JO, 12U

R1 on 3B, R2 on 2B, B3 due up to bat. B9 steps to plate and reaches 1B on infield single.

Before next pitch, defensive coach appeals. I call B3 out, return both runners, and bring B4 up to bat.

But what about B9 now camped on 1B. Logic says she can't stay there, but I find no reference in ASA Rule or Case books to remove her. (The only reference to remove her is if she is the next scheduled batter.)

I finally applied a NFHS rule and sent B9 to the dugout. No one objected, but then no one else knew the rules (including available umpires and UIC).

Do you agree? If so, please provide rule and interpretation.

Sorry, but this one should have been a no brainer. BOO is quite simple. If caught prior to a pitch is made to the next batter or all the good stuff at the end of the game, everything is nullified with the exception of any outs made by the defense when the wrong B became the BR. Therefore, B9 was never there which means B9 is in the dugout.
