Rich,

Unless, of course, the runner was "forced to" the base he missed at the time he missed it - like in ump50's 1st question (I'll blame the screwy FED nomenclature of "R3 on 1B for this one). Since the "apparent 4th out" on the appeal becomes the 3rd out of the half inning, no runs score on the play.

The answer is" "A. 0"

In the second question, both Jones and Harris are "starters", therefore each has the privilege of leaving the game once and re-entering under FED rules.
When Harris "bats for himself" Jones must leave the game (1st time). Since
Jones was a starter, he may re-enter the game as the coach wishes. If he does, Harris will have to leave the game (1st time). As a starter, Harris has re-entry privileges.

The correct answer is "D".
