Accidental Force Play:
If a runner misses a base and the defense inadvertenly touches that base while the play is continuing or for an apparent 4th out (e.g. an outfielder catches what looks like the 3rd out, and while enroute to the dugout he stops to brush off the base, which was previously missed by the runner), that was treated as an "appeal" under FED rules. Has more to do with any intervening runs being scored than anything else.
