Illlegal Pitch Effect
Bases loaded, illegal pitch, grounder hit by batter to F5.
F5 fields the ball, stands holding it, runners hold (apparently all reacting to the IP call).
Eventually, F5 throws ball to pitcher.
What do you do?
1) Decide the play is over and call dead ball
2) Wait a moment to see if runners move or F5 throws
3) Wait indefinitely until a play happens
