No, NIUmp - perhaps you didn't read my post about halfway up.
This is another GREAT example of why you make sure all potential plays are completed before letting the next guy come up. The batter with the steel pipe is not going to be allowed into the batters box (and then called out) until it is apparent the defense is ready to move on from the previous play.
Extend your sitch a little further, but using your ruling... What if there was only ONE out - a player misses a base, the next batter comes in illegally and is called out, and NOW you're going to allow an appeal play on the previous play - potentially a 3rd out when there was no chance of getting a 3rd out at all prior to the NEXT batter coming in for his at bat. No ... you can't do that.
