Bases loaded, 2 outs. Batter hits a very high pop-up about 20 feet shy of the fence, but the fielder is parked under it. Batter thinks that's 3 outs, gets pissed, and stomps into the dugout. The fielder loses the ball in the sun, gets bonked on the head, and the ball goes over the fence in fair territory.

4 runs score? Or 3 outs, change 'em up?

I think: 3 outs change them up. The ball became dead when the Batter Runner committed interference by abandoning his attempt to reach first base.
