Yes, you can get an appeal for the force out.

On the premise that this third world stuff wouldn't happen to me (except in the LL games I umpire) I have been negligent in informing myself about the rules.
Now it has happened in a MiLB game and we don't know exactly how they ruled except the end result was proper. But if the BU ruled abandonment, as PBUC and MLBUM says they should, and the PU ruled "run scored" (not what happened in the OP) do we have game over and reset for a proper appeal or is the throw to 2B during "continuing action" a good appeal?

I think abandonment in this particular situation might be grabbing the shitty end of the stick if the defense does what they did in the OP.

Hard to imagine that R3 wouldn't touch home before a shocked U1 or U2 declared R1 out.

Especially if it prevents extra innings.
