I would not allow the appeal in NFHS. I have no idea about other rules sets. Here is the NFHS rule:
Appeals must be made:
a. before the next legal or illegal pitch;
b. at the end of an inning, before all infielders have left fair territory and the
catcher vacates her normal fielding position; or
c. on the last play of the game, before the umpires leave the field of play.
