I don't think an award can be made unless the ball is dead so, to make it clearer, the runner was obstructed, the umpire signalled delayed dead ball, she was tagged out when the umpire called dead ball and awarded the runner third base. The defense appealed that on her way to home the runner missed third base. Can the appeal be successful?
