FED Appeal Process

[Bfair]

Pete, there is something here I am not understanding.
If RUNNER BEAT THROW to 2nd but missed the base, would he not have been safe had he touched the base? Thereby, R3 would have scored anyway. No advantage is gained by offense by missing the base! In fact, offense is in liability of being put out again despite beating throw since runner missed the base.

F4 now has to determine whether he will attempt to retire a runner by either throwing to F3 or attempting to tag runner nearby him. Assuming F4 is successful in retiring either runner, that's only 2 out and run scores.

Bottom line...........runner beat the throw allowing run, in all liklihood, to score. Offense has not circumvented any rule allowing them to gain an advantage!!
