This is not an appealable action.
For NFHS, there ia a provision in the rule book that when more than one out is declared that ends an inning, the defensive coach has the option of which out will apply.
Refer to Rule 9.1.1 Exception e:
A run is not scored if the runner advances to home plate during action in which the third out is made as follows:
e. when there is more than one out declared by the umpire which terminates the half inning (the defensive team may select the out which is to its advantage)
