It's a fascinating discussion that really requires someone more important than most of us to make a (seemingly) arbitrary decision.

I also see both sides of this.

If the umpires acknowledge that the runner crossed the plate before the appeal at second, the run scores BY RULE. Why would the umpire saying that the run does not score have any bearing at that point?

OTOH, it's a rule misinterpretation. Should be handled under protest procedures. BTW, the WIAA does not acknowledge protests.
