First of all Bandit,

You need to repay me for that Ice Cold Beverage I purchased for you since you THOUGHT I screwed up an award.

Section 8-b-1

If the batter does not reach first base safely or if any runner fails to advance at least one base, the coach of the offensive team may choose to take the result of the play OR the standard Illegal Pitch effect which is that a ball is awarded to the batter and each runner advances one base.

I was right....I'm now pissed off now that I let you, Ms. Kellerump and our Boss convice me I was wrong!!!!!

Given all of that, I think if the IP occurs BEFORE leaving early, then we enforce the delayed dead ball. If they leave early BEFORE the IP then Dead Ball Out since no pitch occurs. I am going to check on that with the Rules Interp people though.
