I humbly acknowledge my naivety about every aspect of the game. Thats why I read every post on this board. While technically an appeal on a runner leaving early can be made during live play, I have never seen it done that way in my short 8 years around the game. I have seen umpires call dead ball and the runner out without an appeal being made in NFHS games.
While R1 did nothing wrong, R2 did and her team should not be rewarded for it.
If you had a BOO situation with 2 out that resulted in a score and the appeal was made before the next pitch, that run and any other advance by runners would be nullified. Thats in Dixie rules (7:02 Effect B-C 2). I dangerously assume ASA to to similar. I do not have an ASA rulebook.
Allowing the run to score in this situation just doesnt make any sense, IMHO. If the rules support this, they should be reviewed specific to this situation.
And I wasnt going there.
