As I said, the ball is still live so all the defense has to do (before the last defensive player leaves live ball territory) is get your attention and make the appeal at the proper base. From here, you make your decision and your call.

I applaud you for paying attention after the 3rd out and at least attempting to do it right. A play like this is usually a failure point for a rookie.
I might be wrong but doesn't the right to appeal end when all players have left fair territory?

OBR - 7.10 (d). Pitcher and all infielders have left fair territory. PBUC says "crossed foul lines".

FED says same thing.

Early in 7.10 (d) it says "before the defensive team leaves the field" but later in 7.10 (d) clarifies as above.

However the LLGB still says "all players". So it depends what org you are calling for.
