My guess is that B10 is disqualified, all play stands (outs, runners advanced), and B1 should assume the ball/strike count. What if B1 has exhausted her re-entries and thus is ineligible to return? B10 is replaced by a valid sub, correct? What if they don't have a valid sub? I would guess we have an out. Is my thinking on this correct?
Thanks!

If this is just a normal sub, S1 would be DQ'd and the starter may reenter if that is available or another sub may enter and assume the ball/strike count. ASA 4.6.C.1
