This situation could legitimately become a forfeit situation. Any coach who tells his players to violate a rule to extend a game is making a travesty of the game. One could easily argue that this isn't specifically addressed by the rules but rule 10 gives the plate umpire the authority to enforce any penalty he/she considers appropriate. As Interpreter, I would support such a decision.

You dont need rule 10 when it is addressed in the rules. People love to fall back on rule 10 for everything...
In any case, your interpreter has the proper result even if he/she took the wrong road to get there.
