If you have a violation by the defense (IP), how can that be negated by a violation by the offense (LBR)?
Seems to me you'd have somewhat of a timing thing...one happened before the other. Once you declare an illegal pitch, can you now take it back just because the runner stepped off? The batter wasn't given an opportunity to hit the ball....
