Those rules infer...

Common sense also infers, so an invocation of Rule 10 based on inference could also work..

But IMO, that rule does not address this situation.

That rule also states a strike is called.. for the sake of argument, the batter did not ever swing at the pitch.

A thought..

If the runners take off, do you then have interference? At the point an interference of the defense was created.

I do agree dead ball to be the easiest path out of this play and what I would likely do if I had too...
