batting out of order

Not quite accurate. In FED any outs made, stand.

Right. In B, Able is returned to third, Mike is out, Baker's out at second stands, Fred becomes the proper batter. Be wary that this could be a time play if there was one out at the time Fred batted. If the out is made before the run scores, the defense just may want to NOT appeal and see what happens next inning. They could get another free out, depending on who comes to bat. If the run scores before Baker's out at second, a proper appeal would take the run off the board and end the inning.
