Unless the play is part of continuous action, the appeal should be denied. The defense must appeal before any play that is not a part of continuous action.

That is incorrect. Only runners who touch an advance base
while the ball is dead cannot go back to correct the infraction. In the posted situation, Bordick was beyond second already when the ball entered dead ball territory. He could indeed properly retreat to correct his infraction.
