Which, speaking ASA, is incorrect. Once a runner passes a base, they are considered to have touched that base and is ruled safe, by rule. It is a missed base appeal made during a live ball that is considered a subsequent play.
ASA does not take what, by some, is consider the baseball stance of a "no call" when a runner does not touch a base.
