Dakota,
How can you fix that? Do you mean never do that again?

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. [/B]
Dakota,
That sounds easy enough. Thanks.
