The throw from F9 is on the money at the plate and R2 is tagged for the 3rd out.
3. Even though she is tagged out at the plate can she be appealed for missing 2B and nullify the run? I think yes here so I guess the same principle is at work in Play A.
It just seems to me that the tag out in Play A of Charles would remove the appeal.
I would appreciate detailed explanations so I can get this.
Thanks

The fourth out to nullify a run can only be applied to a runner who has scored. So in your situation and in Play A, it would not nullify the run. However, if we are saying that it is valid to appeal a player missing a base that has already been put out and that the appeal is a force out, then I guess the run would not score. However, the rulebook says that no runs score if the 3rd out is a force out. Its says nothing about the 4th out being a force out. WHEW! Say that 3 times fast! We need clarification!
