Dave-

Under FED rules, I believe the defense has lost the right to appeal since the defense (in this case the pitcher) initiated a subsequent play (a balk in this case). The only exception to this is if the offense initiates a play first (ie attempts to steal and the pitcher attempts to drive back the runner). Unfortunately I don't have my rules/case book with me but I believe that is the ruling.
