FED multiple runners missing a base or leaving too soon

[Roger Greene]

O.K. guys,

I've got to ask a qukestion. Whats 9-1-1 got to do with this sitch.

The play as I understand it is R1 and R2. One out. Batted ball is caught in flight. R1 and R2 left too early(did not retouch) and ended up at 3rd and scored.

Fed rules. End of playing action R1 and R2 are both out for failing to retouch. 3 outs, inning over. The only thing I see the coach needing to pick is his nose.

If it were OBR and defense appealed both runners propery, they would both be out. We wouldn't make them pick one or the other would we?

Am I missing something here ?
