What I am wondering is if that out is not considered a "force" out for nullifying runs since at the time she missed the base she would have only been the 2nd out. So if in this play the BR would have been safe at 2nd and there was an appeal, we would have 2 runs score correct?
So since the appeal came after the runners scored, and the BR had a timing type play for the 2nd out at the time, but 3rd out in actuality as the runner had already missed 3rd base and had an out (2nd out) waiting for appeal.
Thinking through the 4th out appeal rule to nullify runs, the only reason you can nullify all the runs is if the missed base was one that the runner was forced to and their missing the base was the 3rd out of the inning. So why I brought this up is my thinking is in the OP the runner missing 3rd would have only been the 2nd out of the inning, thus the R1 and R3's runs score.
