I was going back through some fourth out appeal threads. I know that ASA rules state that the fourth out appeal is only valid on a runner that has scored, but NFHS does not make that same qualification. With that in mind, here are two plays. Using NFHS rules only, tell me how you rule regarding the runs scoring:

1. R1 on third, R2 on second, two out.
B3 base hit, R1 scores, R2 is thrown out at home for out #3.
B3 advances to second on the throw home, but did not touch first base.
Defense properly appeals B3 missing first base.


2. Bases loaded, two out.
B4 base hit, R1 scores from third, R2 scores from second, R3 advances from first to third, but misses second base. B4 is thrown out attempting to advance to second for out #3.
Defense properly appeals R3 missing second base.
