Your answer is correct in this instance, but your reasoning is not, since it suggests that an appeal play as such is NEVER a force play.

That's not true. There are 2 kinds of (baserunning) appeal play (I know that you know all this, Rich, but I'm pointing it out for others):

1. A retouch appeal, which is what we have here. Retouch appeals are NEVER force plays, so if there's a play at the plate it would be a time play.

2. A missed base appeal. Missed base appeals ARE force plays when the runner was forced to the base he missed. This factor can come into play when determining whether a given play is a time play.
