NCAA is not like Fed, which gives the defense any outs made on the play (except for an out on the illegal batter), or ASA, which gives the defense all outs made as a result of the improper batter's at bat.
Abel on 1B, no outs. Charles bats instead of Baker and grounds into a double play. Before the next pitch, the defense appeals to the umpire.
ASA: The double play stands. Baker is out for failing to bat in the proper order. Three outs. Daniels leads off the next inning.
Fed: Abel's out at 2B counts. Baker is out for failing to bat in the proper order. Two outs. Charles bats again.
NCAA (and NSA): Baker is out for failing to bat in the proper order. Abel is returned to 1B. Charles bats again. Under these codes, the defense would be better off not appealing.
