I could enter the fray and prolong this thread by arguing point for point. But why? As you said, you "believe" this is a batting out of order sitiuation.
Again, read Carl's post, then Bob Jenkins'. They have it simple, neat and as correct as you will find absent a specific rule or ruling. There is no need to invent or invite further problems.

Okay, I can live with that since, after revisiting the OP, there was never an appeal made by the defense.
In all honesty, if I were on the field when something like this happened (spare me the day), I would most likely support a do-over.
