ASA POE.1.L states " If a runner passes first base before the throw arrives, the runner is considered to have touched the base unless an appeal play is made..........If an appeal is made in either situation, it must be made prior to the runner returning to first base while the ball is live." So, now, Ref Ump Welsch, if they talk to you about it, quote it back to them. If they still insist, well, you're on your own there......
