Unreported Substitute

[rwest]

That the sub is disqualified even if the offensive team reports the substitution after his/her at bat but before the defense appeals?

The rule books says there is no violation in this situation.

For example,

R1 at 1B, R2 at 2B. B3 is an unreported sub. B3 gets a base hit and makes it safely to 1B. R2 scores. R1 is now at 3B. Manager for the offense recognizes that the sub did not report so he informs the umpire before the defense can appeal. What do you have? I have a score, R1 at 3rd and the unreported sub is now legally in the game. I don't substitute for him/her.

Correct or am I totally confused!
