NCAA Appeal Question

I'm trying to understand fully the nature of NCAA appeals...

NCAA Rule 8.6.b (3): The defensive team receives only one chance on an appeal. In the case of multiple appeals, if the defense errs during its first appeal attempt, or any base runner advances, the defense loses its right to appeal any runner at any base

Play: R2 and R3, no outs, fly ball to deep right center, both runners tag up and advance. Defense appeals the R3 left too soon. PU does not uphold the appeal. Defense now wants to appeal that R2 left too soon. Is the appeal not allowed because the defense erred on its first try - it already had its one chance? (Obviously, the word "errs" means something different in NCAA terminology than what it means in OBR.)
