Advance on appeal
Runner on 2nd and 3rd. Fly ball to outfield is caught and runners tag and advance. Play resumes and pitcher executes a proper appeal to third base. However, after indicating the appeal pitcher then wildly throws the ball over third basemans head. Runner on third advances to home and scores on the throwing error.
Defensive coach complains that runner can't advance on appeal play but umpire rules runner can advance at own peril.
Who is correct?
