Play 4.6-10 in the 2005-2006 Casebook is the closest thing to this, but it's a lot more complex ... more runners, missed base, more corrections to make, followed by a dead ball appeal after the corrections (sheesh!). But the batter was still an unreported sub.
Bottom line, the unreported sub batter is DQ'd
and OUT because the defense objected
before the next pitch was thrown.
You might want to invest in a new Casebook. I can't tell you when the rule changed, but it was before 2005
