The switched places scenario is more readily verifiable - especially if only one runner scored and the other (wrong) one is still on base.

Let's try this on for size.
R2, R3, one out. Double (potential triple) to right. R2, after rounding third, starts to go back to second, thinking the ball was caught. Throw comes to third while both BR and R2 are between second and third. Somehow, in the jumble, BR ends up on third and R2 ends up on second. You don't catch it, and the defense doesn't either (hey, they're just happy only one run scored.) After the next batter singles and advances both, DC has the light-bulb moment.
Can you go back and fix it? I say no.
