Here's an interesting one...

Talking with my partner in between games last night, this situation came up...

ASA rules. Team A playing shorthanded due to injury. R1 on third, 1 out, x-2 count, missing spot in batting order due up next.

B2 swings and misses for strike three and out #2, R1 sucessfully steals home on the pitch. Does the run count?

The question becomes: When is the out for the missing spot in the batting order considered to take place? Does it happen immediately at the time of the second out? Or does it happen after all play is complete and the missing batter should enter the box?

Personally - I count the run, then declare the missing spot in the order out for out #3. However, I can't find any clear definition in the rulebook
