3rd out + missed plate

[thumpferee]

Is it because, even though it was the third out, the ball is still live until the fielders leave the playing area?

And, Would that be an example of a fourth out?

Could you also state the Rule, or a Case Number, I couldn't find it for Lil' League.

In FED I know an appeal is not necessary. Umpire can call him out if he witnessed runner missing base.

You make a good point Mike, he came back and touched HP, even though it was after the third out was made. I would think if the defense could appeal the run after the third out, the runner should be allowed to come back and touch after the third out.
