Thanks, BigUmp56. The ump allows the run because it would have scored anyway on the wild pitch. That pretty much answers the question regarding the play in my original post. I'll go and read that entire section in the J/R.
It still doesn't answer directly the question of what happens when Charles walks and tries for 2B and Abel scores on the throw. It's not quite parallel to the play in the J/R. After all, we can't say that Abel would have scored without the play on the improper batter. If I had to choose, I'd say allow the play to stand, but that's a guess. Maybe I'll find it in the J/R.
