Correct call?

It doesn't have to be verbal - but it does have to be unmistakeable. I can envision a few unmistakeable appeals that aren't verbal, but not many. It CAN'T be a touch of first within the flow of the game though. There has to be SOME sort of discontinuity to indicate the fielder is appealing the miss, and not just touching the bag. When in doubt... well.... that's kind of the definition of "mistakeable", isn't it... so when in doubt, it's not an UNmistakeable appeal.

Neither the FED rule book nor the FED case book use the term "unmistakeable" when talking about appeals.

I have quoted both books in pervious posts. Like it or not that's what is written, I didn't make the stuff up.

FED Rule Book:
8-2-5 Peanalty (Art. 1-5) on page 48
Appeal Procedures and Guidlines on page 48 & 49

FED Case Book:
8.2.3 Situation on page 62
