Application of rule 10-6-C usually requires placing runners back in a non-jeopardy position that they left due to the umpire's error.
In this case, it is a game-winning home run, that the umpire's error turned into a run-nullifying appeal of runners not completing their base running duties.
Remedy: Disallow the appeal. Place the runner's back on base to complete their run. Assuming all bases are properly touched, score 4 runs. Home team wins. Sign the visiting team's coach's protest scoresheet.
