Batter-Runner ends up at 2nd base (but missed touching first base). Defensive coach comes out to appeal the two missed bases anyways as he says it gets him two extra outs in the book. I went ahead and allowed the appeals, called R3 and BR out and R2 scored the winning run instead of R3. Game is still over. I guess allowing that appeal couldn't hurt?

The only thing to remember is that in ASA, an infielder is supposed to make the appeal, not the coach.
