2. A missed base appeal of first (overrun) or home occurs when [7.08k]
a. action is relaxed and the alledgedly missed base or the suspect runner is tagged [7.10d], or
b. action is unrelaxed and the suspect runner is tagged off base.
So, as I said before, if the BR who missed 1B is tagged while off his base, he is out. Got anything that says different?

The fact that it says "appeal" - several times. It must be appealed. An appeal must be verbal or an unmistakable act.
