I'm not a Fed ump, but I'll take a guess on the proper ruling.

After the live ball appeal was thrown into DBT, the runners would be awarded 2 bases. However, a dead ball appeal would still be possible. Therefore, the runners would have to complete their baserunning responsibilities. In ASA they could do so legally, but I seem to remember that in Fed runners who are on or past the next base cannot return while the ball is dead. In that case, even if they went back and tagged up before taking their award, a dead ball appeal would be honored.

Right?
