Does the run score?

[greymule]

Outs on appeal are just like regular outs in that some are time plays and some are not. Depends on the circumstances of the out, not whether the out is related to an appeal.

Play 1: Abel on 3B, Baker on 1B, 1 out. Charles hits fly to F9. Abel and Baker both advance after the catch, but Baker left 1B too soon and is called out on appeal. Time play. The third out came after Abel crossed the plate, so the run scores.

Play 2: Abel on 3B, Baker on 1B, 1 out. Charles triples but missed 1B; Baker scores but missed 2B. Baker is called out on appeal at 2B; Charles is then called out on appeal at 1B. Not time plays. Baker out on force play; Charles out before reaching 1B safely. Abel's run does not count.

Play 3: Same as #2, but Baker scores but missed 3B instead of 2B. An appeal first on Baker (time play) and then on Charles (BR not reaching 1B) would also nullify Abel's run.

Note: In ASA, in plays 2 and 3, if the defense appealed Charles and then Baker, Abel's run would count. In play 2, the out on Charles would change Baker's subsequent out from force play to time play. In play 3, the third out was a time play all along.
