End of Game Abandonment

[mcrowder]

A couple of questions and points - 1) What rules are you playing under?

Unless appealled properly, I don't believe (could be wrong - but I'm about 70% sure of this) abandonment is a forceplay - it's a timing play. Did he "abandon" (or did you call it as such) before or after the run scored? For the out to eliminate the run scored, it would have to be a force (or an appeal of the force), not a timing play, or the timing of the out would have to be before the run scored (and you'd have to have an AWFULLY quick trigger on calling him out for abandonment for this to be the case).

I believe that in most rulebooks, the defense forfeits it's right to appeal when it leaves the field (and most even define when "leaving the field" takes place. I don't think you broke any rules here.
