Rules question: Did Strall have to throw a pitch after the rain delay?

The sequence of events after the rain delay last night got me curious. A recap:
Smith starts the top of the 3rd.
Dunn uses a mound visit.
Later, on a 3-1 count, CPM comes out for another visit, and I'm aware that a second mound visit by a coach in an inning means the pitcher has to be replaced.
Strall comes in, but the rain delay hits before he can throw a pitch.
After the rain delay, Strall throws a good pitch that is called a ball and therefore walks the batter (walk charged to Smith due to the 3-1 count).
CPM comes out fired up about the call, but still pulls Strall immediately after that.
Stallings comes in, and proceeds to finish the inning.
I'm not sure about the rule on this: Did Strall entering the game before the rain delay mean that he had to finish pitching to the current batter, or at least throw one pitch, once play resumed? That whole sequence would make a lot more sense if the plan was to put Stallings in as soon as we were allowed to.

Trying to recollect, but I think Strall may have been only pitching to that guy anyways because he was a righty and the next guy was a lefty. They didn't want Strall to throw to the lefty I presume?

From the NCAA Baseball Rule Book, Section 4 under the heading "Removing the Pitcher":

This isn't exactly the situation last night but it's the closest thing I could find regarding making a pitcher pitch to a batter before there can be a pitching change.
quote:
When the game pitcher crosses the foul line on the way to the mound to start an inning, he shall pitch to the first batter until such batter is put out or reaches base, unless a pinch hitter is substituted or the batter or the pitcher sustains an injury or illness, which incapacitates him from continuing.

I don't think he would have to throw a pitch. But having been "announced" he was officially in the game. After that, whether he pitched or not, when removed he was no longer eligible.
The same thing with batters. Once announced, they don't have to officially bat. They can be replaced. But after being announced and then being replaced, they have entered and exited the game even if they never set foot in the batters box.

Strall would have been responsible for anything but a walk to that batter

Just like a pitch hitter that is announced before the rain delay is in the game and the batter he replaced is out for the rest of the game.
What I don't understand is why the office box score has Strall has a "-" under the number of pitches. I understand that the he was not officially charged with the walk by I thought he would have shown up in the box score has having thrown a pitch.

Pretty sure a pitcher has to finish an at bat when brought out of the bullpen... A batter can't face 3 pitchers in one AB
