is there rule support for this? The only thing I can find is in rule 10.

essentially, now your inning is 4 outs long. Just go back and fix it, use common sense and do what's fair. If it is several innings later that it's noticed, well, i dunno if you can do anything about it then...
I think once with two outs and 2 strikes, the batted ball hit the batter and I didn't get a good look if the batter was still in the box so I ruled batter was still in the box and so the batter got to bat again with 2 strikes. Defensive coach was barking down my back about what he thought was a really bad judgement call. Didn't matter in the end as I rung up the hitter on the next pitch. (which was a gopher pitch, why in the world did the batter not swing at it, i dunno). btw, a gopher pitch is a really juicy pitch that is easily hittable for a home run and should be swung at everytime a batter sees one...
