High school ball. Bottom of the 8th, game tied, bases loaded, 1 out. Batter hit by pitch. Batter touches first, runner on 3rd crosses the plate, both the runner who started on first and the runner who started on second does not advance to there awarded base. Defense appeals the runner did not touch second, I call him out, then they appeal the runner not touching third (runner on who started at 3rd has already crossed the plate), I call him out. Does the run score? I scored the run and game over. Now say that they appealed 3rd first and then 2nd. Now there would be 2 force outs, and would the run still score? I can not find anything in the rule book or casebook to help me out on this. I have asked may differnt umpires this, and all have no clue. Thanks
