On reflection [and consultation of my rule books during a break at work], I agree with Rich that I was wrong about the appeal for an out. And I further agree that, if caught before the next pitch, R should be returned to his prior base, since U1 screwed the pooch by putting the ball in play before R had returned.
I continue to be unconvinced that this "do over" can happen AFTER TWO PITCHES.

Say the pitches are both strikes - Batter out, side retired: OOPS! do-over! R returns, B back to the plate to get those 2 pitches back .... I think not!
