The original post has been modified....it was the coach trying to substitute a pinch runner for the shortstop (who already re-entered earlier in the game).

"The UIC shall record any reported substitution and then announce any change(s) to the opposing team. ... Should there be no announcement ..."

So, once the UIC records it and tells the opposing team, it's too late to back out. You don't say if that's what happened in the play in question.
