Simple Question on Appealed Play

[KathyCG]

I was asked this question and, without thoroughly searching the rule book, and, because it hasn't happened to me yet, I'm not sure of the answer: zero or one out. R1 on 1B; BR hits a home run (not over the fence); R1 misses third. Appeal upheld. Does anything happen to the BR? BR score still counts?

I'm thinking just take away the appealed run and everything else stays the same?

I know, to most of you it's simple but it's just something that got me thinking!

Also, just want to let this board know that I read the situations/questions and the rulings and remember them as I'm umping! Keep up the good work!

You have it right, Kathy. R1 out on appeal. BR scores. Bases are empty, you have one more out and one more run than you did before the play began.

The only time the following run would be nullified is if the preceeding runner was the third out on appeal.

Or fourth out appeal.
