Rules have recently changed about 3 outs ending an inning and advantageous 4th out appeals. Caseplay where R2 is tagged for 3rd out and following appeal at 1B is denied by current Pro rule interpretation, which allows run to score, has not met with scorekeepers approval. Clasic case of PRO umpires making UP the rules. These guys are umpires, not scorekeepers. That is another protest decision, yet to be resolved. Any umpire of an "umpinion" that it is true has another problem with public opinion. Fantasy League rules, maybe. It would be easier to amend 7.10 in about 10 years than explain that caseplay to the public.

You cannot make an "apparant fourth out appeal" for the BR failing to reach first base. That's not "PRO umpires making UP rules." It's PRO umpires FOLLOWING the rules.
