I've read a lot of interesting resolutions to your "nightmare" but in reality, there are only two things that need to be done in a case like this.
  1. The umpires immediatly call TIME and eject the PA announcer. This is covered in all three rule sets and needs to be done immediatly.
  2. If the defense attempts to appeal the missed base, this must be honered.
Now hold on all of you.....! Would you deny an appeal if a parent hollered about the missed base and the defense listened? Of course not! You will have a problem with the offensive coach but you will have to deal with that. It is a valid appeal so you must act on it. Of course, you might get a balk out it because you killed the ball to eject the PA announcer so that may be a plus.
Would you not consider that the info was gained illegally by a "team attendant"?


Interesting scenario though.
