Complex play

If the batter reaches first but misses it, then he is assumed to have reached it for purposes of CI.

The batter is out if appealed; no option for the offense.

I like that! That certainly simplifies things greatly. Thanks!

As Bob says, the CI is waived off because the BR and R2 advanced at least one base (at least for the purpose of enforcing CI). All you have to sort out is the appeal -- if it's made. The defense will of course make the appeal if they noticed the missed base because the inning would now be over. I think Bob's got this nailed.
