But if the runners and BR are celebrating at home, I will assume they've been given time to fulfill their base running duties. Then, if a fielder without the ball says they want to appeal, we would call time out and rule on the appeal. For the runner at first, she went home without touching second (or third) and can be ruled out for missing a base. The BR who never reached first, can be ruled out for missing first. And the order in which the appeals are made would impact whether the run would score or not.

Let's say this is a tournament where score differential will determine seeding. And there is also a runner on second who does the same dumb trick. The defense gets the ball and appeals that the batter runner missed first. So you now have two outs. Then they say the runner from second missed third so you have 3 outs. Most of the defense is already off the field and as soon as you call the third out the last defenders run off. The scorekeeper then asks you if the run counts. Are you seriously going to tell her that it does, and ALSO the runner from first who came in to celebrate scores so the home team wins by 2? I'm not, she has to touch all 4 bases or approximate it well enough to be considered to have missed the base to score a run. She's guilty of abandonment not finding a shortcut to scoring. |

Bottom 7th, home team at bat trailing by a run.
Bases loaded, batter hits an over the fence home run. Home team wins by 3 runs. Bases loaded, batter hits a gap shot to the outfield that has no fence. Runners score from third and second. Home team wins by 1 run. Once the winning run crosses the plate, the game is over. I'm sure some score keeping parent will log the gap shot as a grand slam with 4 RBIs, but I don't think it's right.
