Al batting but Charlie is on deck.

Al doubles.

Manager sees Charlie coming to the plate and decides to pinch-hit for him with Dusty.

Dusty doubles in the run. Before next pitch defensive team manager notifies the umpire of the batting out of order.

Bill is declared out.

Who is now up? Can Charlie bat? Is Dusty still in the game for Charlie?

Bill is not out in this case. Dusty batted for Bill (whether the manager realized it or not). There was no BOO, Charlie is the batter.

The substitution saved the offense the BOO in this case.
