This happened in an American Legion (pro rules) game.

Bases loaded, 2 outs. B1 crushes it to the power alley, and ends up on second. The bases are cleared, and three runs score. On appeal the pitcher gets in the stretch, steps off and throws to first appealing that the batter-runner missed first. No runs should score. I read rule 7.10 in MLB book...that's my reference, correct? It's rather vague about the difference between 2 outs and "less than two outs." With 0 or 1 out, the runs would have scored? What's my rule reference? What's the rationale?
