You Make The Call

Roger: I'm going by the several plays under #238 in the 2002 OBR. These involve baserunning errors where a force is NOT removed even though a following runner has been put out. (Note the differences between NCAA and Fed/OBR, as well as the key element in Fed/OBR that the baserunning error must occur before the following runner is put out.)

In certain other plays, it is entirely possible that the defense could appeal in the "wrong" order and allow a run to score. Here's one off the top of my head:

R3 on 3B, R2 on 2B, 1 out. BR hits a double but misses first. R3 scores, and R2 scores but misses 3B. If the defense appeals R2 at 3B, then BR at 1B, the third out is a force and R3's run is nullified. If they appeal BR at 1B first, then R2's out for missing 3B (not a force) is the third out and R3's run would count.

I'll also check the ref you cited.
