Thanks, but this didn't really answer my question. My thinking on this this situation, if played under FED rules, is that the PU should be emphatic about calling time as soon as the contact is made and then declare that the run has scored. This will most likely prompt the defensive manager to come out. It should be explained to him that the ball was dead
as soon as the contact occurred and that runner has passed the plate so the run counts. If he has any sense he'll tell you that the runner missed the plate to which you reply, "Correct, runner is out on appeal."
Then turn and face the other dugout and wait for the offensive manager.
