Watching 10U - BR to 3rd!

Once time was called, if you go with A, then BR would be out if appealled, and additionally would be out once the pitcher held the ball, if she tried to go ahead and head toward first base (LBR).

I would agree with this, and I'm not sure which one is the better option.

Since the PU went with A, then:

Most of the DC's argument was of the form "She can't do that." and "That's just wrong" --- never any concrete anything.

Given the context, I think I would interpret this as a valid appeal. The DC coach is saying that the BR can't go to 3B without first going to 1B (and 2B) thus implying that she missed those bases.
