It's not just baseball. I believe that ASA is the only organization- baseball or softball- that limits fourth out appeals to runners who have scored.
I think what killed this in ASA was the BRs and maybe others, not running out a play when they hear the 3rd out called and then that being used as an appeal.

Yes, I agree it shouldn't happen, but apparently it has somewhere.
