You would score runner from third and runner from first would move to second. Batter would stay at the plate. So would you not call "Time" in that situation? Would you be the 10th man? Again you don't get it. You are not depriving the defense of making a play, since they have committed an infraction.

FWIW, I agree with Tim's reading of this rule. That is, if everyone (BR and all Rs) advances as a result of the play, keep the ball live. If anyone doesn't advance, then kill the ball.
If you want to argue the rule, please do so without getting personal. I removed a couple of "shots" from recent posts -- I hope I won't have to do so again. (And that paragraph is not directed only at PWL.)
