In fast pitch, the ball is live after ball four unless something else happened to "kill" it (such as a blocked ball, pitched ball going out of play, etc.)
Therefore, in the play cited above, the ruling for fast pitch is the BR is out as soon as she enters dead ball territory (8-2-D), and since this was the third out, made on the BR prior to reaching 1st base, the run does not score (5-5-B-1). This is not an appeal play in FP.
