We had almost this same sitch in another thread. If there is one defensive player still left on the field, I feel you can legally bring them all back and continue. Now, if the defensive team has left the field when you discover you only have 2 outs, I think you are stuck.

Now, while I agree that the teams are ultimately responsible for knowing the number of outs, the umpires need to be on top of this also. In this case, as I read it, no one brought the question of the number of outs to the umpires attention until the teams had changed sides between innings. This is clearly a team foul-up, in my eyes.
