As far as rules, the BU has no choice but to call the runner out and continue.

David there is a rule (I am at work and don't have the rule number) that prohibits the use of replay equipment.

In this instance (The PA announcing that the BR missed first base) is IMO equivalent to using Replay equipment hence the appeal should not be allowed because it's apprent from the OP that the Defense was NOT going to appeal. F1 was getting ready to pitch but then he heard the PA announcer and who at this point wouldn't appeal.

COump could be right in that the other 3 EJ's came from the defense but depending upon how the situation was handled there could have been EJ's from both sides.

Hopefully Peter will tell us exactly who got EJ'd in addition to the PA announcer.
