accidental appeal or out?
2 outs.
bases loaded 3-2 on the batter BR swings and misses a curve in the dirt F2 blocks the pitch nicely but forgets he has a force at home F2 steps and throws wildly to first to get the BR AND steps on home with his natural stride before the ball leaves his hands. Ball goes into the RF corner and the mary-go-round begins. call? |

Do you think the catcher was stepping on home to retire the runner from third?
From NFHS interp. With regard to base running, Rule 8-4-2j is an extension of Rule 8-4-2. This rule change stipulates that there shall not be any accidental appeals on a force play, in order to be definitive in all aspects of the appeal process |

"Not be any accidental appeals" applies only to missed bases, not regular play. In regular play, a fielder could still, obviously without intent, happen to touch a base to which the runner is forced. The runner is out, intent/accident or not. In fact, there never was an accidental appeal. It was actually an accidental force play (or out at 1B before the BR arrives).
