There are two types of appeal plays that can be affected in this exception: failing to touch one of the bases and leaving the base too soon on a fly ball that is caught, Searcy said.
The previous rule did not include both scenarios. The use of the phrase a runner who is declared out on an appeal play addresses both situations.

Assuming that "get it right" would have meant to count the run, is there anybody here who would have gotten it right in this situation? It's a rule I would have kicked.
