Not so fast on the baseball stuff.

From the ASA look-back rule:

EFFECT - Section 7-T (1-3): The ball is dead. “No pitch” is declared when applicable, and the runner is out. If more than one runner is off base, when one is called out, the ball is dead and other runners are returned to the last base touched. One runner only may be called out.

From the NFHS look-back rule:

PENALTY: (Arts. 2, 3, 4) The ball is dead. "No pitch" is declared when applicable, and the runner is out. If two runners or more are off their bases, when one is called out, the ball is dead and other runners are returned to the last base touched. Only one runner may be called out.

Off-hand, I can't think of a time when it would be applicable.
