That's why I think it would be more appropriate to change 5.5.C. to read something to the effect of:
No run shall be scored if a "fourth out" is the result of an appeal of:
1. A base missed or left to soon by a runner who has scored.
2. The batter-runner missing first base.
EFFECT 5.5.C.2: Any runs scored on the play are nullified.
