Realistically, how does the defense appeal such a play (final play of the game) when the umpires leave the field so quickly?

The next baseball game at any level I officiate will be my first. But I assume this would be like the McCann-Gomez brouhaha in Atlanta. McCann obstructed, Gomez was awarded home but never touched the plate. Run scored anyway.
