Third Out: From your post I am not sure exactly what was the Defensive Team's obvious appeal but I am going to assume that it was an active appeal consisting of F5 throwing the ball to either F6 or F4 who then either tagged second base or tagged R2 before R2 could return to second base.

It does not matter that R1 never touched HP because she was out on the active appeal by F8 to F5.

Just curious, Mark, what exactly is an "active appeal?" Aren't all appeals "active" in some form or fashion? The do require some action on the part of the defense, whether the ball is live or dead. Or is this baseball-ese for what we call a "live ball appeal?"
