Substitute R1 never enters game, but it's undiscoverred

[EsqUmp]

Shameful conduct by all parties here.



The runner is, by rule, out for abandoning her base and entering dead ball territory. That's out #2. Then you said there was another out. That's out #3. The fact that the inning continued when it was officially over is ridiculous. All play after that should be nullified. You have to correct the situation and try to make right what went absurdly wrong.

Which runner would that be?

The unreported non-substitute. Duh!
(Perhaps we were playing ghost runners?)

The runner who is now R1, who seemingly walked off with no one knowing.

Call the umpires out too for that matter.

Which runner is out? Jersey number, please, Blue? Or, as said earlier, are we now declaring ghost runners out?

The whole situation is FUBAR, for sure, but you can't just declare a generic runner out.

Call the unreported sub out for abandoning the base? It's a big mess, but I can't allow runs to score when the inning should be over.

There are lots of ways this could have been prevented, but you can't rule a runner out (the unreported sub) for abandoning her base when she was told to do so by the umpire, not to mention the ball is dead during this.

By the time the DC wised up and said something, it was too late for any remedy. I agree the runs should never have scored, but they did, and it is too late to fix it.
