OOOOPS!

In the teenage venacular: "My bad!" FED book, under Appeal Procedures and Guidelines, says that this is indeed an appeal play. OK, I read it, but that raises more questions. (1) What if runner continued on to second and is tagged out by F4? (2) What if runner, knowing that she can not get back to 1B, decides to head for second and is tagged in the back by F3? (3) What if she heads for 2B, and goes back to 1B and F4's throw back to 1B beats her and F3 tags her out sliding into first? Can't all be appeal plays, can they?

Back to the appeal play: is this a force out? The book says "If an appeal is honored (it was) at a base to which a runner was forced to advance (batter-runner is forced to 1B) AND THE OUT IS A FORCE OUT, no runs would score if it was the 3rd out. Is this a force, or is the force off after the runner originally achieved 1B?

If this is a force out, and if 1, 2, and 3 above are not appeal plays, than a (really) sharp runner would take off for second and try to give her teammate on 3B time to score before she is put out.
