Batting Out Of Order or NOT

[NCASAUmp]

If you determine that it was a case of mistaken numbers and that 41 should have been written as 44 (or however it worked out), make the correction and continue play with no penalty (ASA 3-6-D).

And even if it HAD been batting out of order, all advancement of runners on pitches that did not include the batter becoming a batter runner (hit, walk, etc.) would stand. The removal of the run was incorrect.

It was the end of the Inning

1. While the incorrect batter is at bat:
EFFECT: The correct batter must take the batter’s position and assume
any balls and strikes. Any runs scored or bases run while the incorrect
batter was at bat shall be legal. There is no penalty whether discovered
by the offense or defense while the incorrect batter is at bat.

D.1. applies during the at bat. D.2. applies after completion of the at bat (when the batter becomes a runner or is retired). There is no retroactivity.

Except that's not the key phrase here... it wasn't BOO.

I thought according to Rule 7 Sec 2 D 2 b. EFFECT b. Any advance of runners and any run scored shall be nullified. All outs made stand. I know that the umpire made a mistake because of the ruling that NCASAUmp gave ASA 3-6-D.
But I thought if it was the incorrect batter that you would take away the run because it was the last out of the inning and even though the batter struck out the batting out of order was discovered before the infielders left fair territory. I thought it didn't matter which pitch it was to the batter, the run scored on a pass ball two pitches prior to the strikeout. It doesn't state in the rule book that the batter has to become a batter runner it states After the incorrect batter has completed a turn at bat. Any replies will help with my thought process.
