I agree - it's too late to put this worm back in the can. Besides, after this hit and the score, there's no REAL way to prove that the runner actually started on 2nd. I would assume that if the umpires and teams were oblivious enough to not put the runner back in the first place, they'd be similarly oblivious enough not to know where this runner started.

I honestly can't see this happening - especially in a 2-umpire game. Umpire would be in B, see the foul ball, head back to B, and then see the runner and go, "Wait a minute, something is wrong here."
