I guess if the umpire wanted to run it strickly by the rule book, he could have told the Visiting team they would have to take their turn at bat. Then the visitors could:
> take their place in the batter's box and then leave and enter the dugout.
> step from left to right batter's box just as the pitcher was getting ready to deliver.
> take nine delay of game penalties for not entering the batter's box.
> wipe out a whole bunch of lines on the field.
> get on base, leave early, get on base, etc.
But, why?

Or bunt everytime to the pitcher. Or bat opposite handed.
At some point a coach has to coach and a player has to play. If it's in the rules I support it. If it's not, then I don't want to make it up. If a team has had enough say so. The rules support a game ending in that manner.
