That's a good one... and similiar to one I had to handle in our Metros two weeks back...

Our scenario: Last game of the night under lights, team playing shorthanded due to prom. They have 1 out already. B8 hits a triple. When all playing action stopped, the PU suspended the game because there was only 5 minutes or so left on the field lights.

The next day the game resumed, and the team has about 5 more eligible rostered players available. The question posed: Did the automatic out happen in B9's spot the night before, or can the coach put a player in B9's spot now and not take the out.

Basically, do we have:
1 out, R8 on 3B, Sub in B9 and B9 bats.
or
2 out, R8 on 3B, B1 bats.

Our Metro UIC ruled that the out happened last night, and the situation was now 2 outs, R8 on 3B, B1 comes to bat. His theory was this: just like a new inning begins immediately after the 3rd out is made in the previous inning, the automatic out happens immediately after the batter completes her at-bat and playing action had stopped... whether the PU declared the out or not.

So in your situation, I would think that playing action had not yet stopped... and I'd let the run count.
