Now that we know that a fourth out appeal cannot be upheld on a runner who did not score . . .

Bases loaded, 2 out. BR hits a ball off the fence and misses 1B on his way around the bases. The three runners touch all their bases and score. BR is almost home when he sees the late throw arriving. When the BR hears the defensive coach say, "Just throw to 1B and appeal. He missed the bag by a mile," the BR catches the throw and tosses the ball into the dugout (or runs directly into the dugout to be declared out). The defensive team then asks for an appeal of the missed 1B.

Your ruling?
