Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ball dead in Co-ed once it crosses the plate? If this is so, you have a player entering the dugout during a dead ball. Why is that player subject to appeal? Isn't this along the same lines as the player hit by the pitch not touching first as was discussed in another post?
Somebody set me straight.

This player abandoned their effort to advance to 1B and left the field of play. What do you suggest the umpire and defense do, just stand there and watch the other team come out onto the field? The defense cannot leave the field of play or they lose their right to protest.
To me, this is an easy one.
