I'm assuming this is OBR. I can't see allowing a run to score here, which would reward this egregious act of cheating and clearly confer an advantage unintended by the rules. And I don't care whose idea it was, everyone involved goes.
When I heard the original story this was I told them I would have done. The problem I have today is that I can't find it in any of my books.

So if anyone can come up with a rule to back it up I would appreciate it so I can let the umpires know if there is a solution.

In the original situation the umpires ejected the coach and the players, but allowed the run to score.

Thanks
