Regardless, it is a time play, the third out was made before the runner legally touched the plate. That's my story and I'm sticking to it1

You would lose this on protest and be relegated to machine pitch triple headers ... Just kidding on the punishment - Maybe :-)
A runner has acquired a base when reached or passed, so the only way to wipe the run off is a proper appeal.

Does anyone really need to answer?
