Appeal

No outs. Batter hits triple and in doing so misses second base.
As the defense appeals, the pitcher throws the ball over the covering shortstop and into center field. Runner on third who hit the triple comes in to score.
Does the run count, even though this may be considered a play and an error on the defense? Or is this not considered a play and no err should be called while the center fielder throws back in to second?

The appeal counts. An err is throwing the ball out of play.

Where(how) did the ball go out of play? A dropped fly ball is an error.Ball still in play....

How can the appeal count? You get one try at the appeal....throw the ball away...you lose...

Run scores....no outs.....next

Cool

Since the opportunity to do so presents itself so infrequently, I would like to take this opportunity to say that I fully concur with canadaump6's assertion that, as long as the "errant throw" over the F6's head into centerfield does not actually go out of play, AND the defense properly completes the appeal of the BR's miss of 2B, the BR would properly be called out on appeal and his apparent run negated.

I think he means "error" as in the OBR line "if the defensive team errs" (7.10).

But I think canada's right. In 7.10 it says the intended meaning of "err" is throwing the ball out of play. It also says the appeal is not considered a play, so I think F8 could throw back to F6 for the appeal at 2B and an out.

Canada's post is 100% accurate. How the ball gets to second is irrelevant, as long as the ball is live and doesn't go out of play (or provided the defense doesn't make a play on R3).

Not sure I agree...I still go with the one shot theory at the appeal.Throw the ball over F6 head...missed opportunity at an appeal.How many tries do they get to get it right?

Out on a 1-8-6 appeal?

Griff is correct in NCAA rule interp. If a runner advances on a botched appeal play then there can no longer be an appeal. NCAA Rule 8-6-b (5b) pg. 98.

It's interesting, actually.

The NCAA uses the word errs completely different from OBR/PBUC/Evans. "Errs" in that setting refers only to a ball thrown out of play. The NCAA clearly means something different.

I never consider NCAA to be the default rule set, though, even though I work NCAA games.

I find it to be an unusual rule, actually. I can appeal by stepping off and walking the ball to the base in NCAA. Why would the route the ball takes to the base be important?
