I would in a non-walk-off situation, so why is the walk-off situation different? I've read a number of umpires SAY this needs to be appealed by the defense, but where is the rule backing that up? The runner did not miss the base; she failed to advance.
If the run would be disallowed if the defense appealed, why would not the run be disallowed without the appeal?
