You Make The Call

The play is right from the ASA casebook. If the defense appeals 1B and then 2B, the run counts. With missed bases, unlike in OBR, the appeal at 1B removes the force at 2B, even though the force was in effect at the time the play began.

ASA does allow for a fourth-out appeal, but the defense cannot put a runner out for the second out and then put the runner out again for the fourth out.

Greymule is 100% correct. I misread the play. I don't know how on earth I confused "double" with anything else, but I did. Once the appeal is made at a previous base (in a progressive order) and upheld, the force is removed from all following bases.

My apologies, must need a new pair of eyes.

However, I stand by my opinion concerning softball rules v baseball rules
