Definitely not, because that is not what the rule actually says.
NFHS Rule 7-1-2 EFFECT
Quote:

The umpire shall declare the batter who should have batted out (not the improper batter). Any other outs on the play stand.

I'm not arguing the proper NFHS interpretation, although the proper interpretation was placed into further confusion by the Umpire Test (which graded allowing the out to stand as the correct answer). I'm only pointing out that the NFHS rule book still needs work wrt the BOO rule.
