I totally disagree
about calling this an appeal play. You guys have got it backwards. Start with the definition of an out. A runner is out when not in contact with a base and is tagged with the ball. Then read that there is an exception to the rule; that being that a runner past first base can return to the base without liability to be put out. But to "earn" that exception she must return immediately to the base. If she attempts to advance to second then she forfeits the exception. Now see rule one - " a runner is out when . . . . "
If R1 decides to continue to second, and dances and makes it difficult for a fielder to get her out - and R3 scores from 3B before R1 is tagged - run counts!
