Just a random thought. Thanks for your comments.  |
To clarify my answer above:
In this situation the runner would be out on the appeal if it was done correctly and the umpire actually saw him miss third. The rest of the play would stand because the appeal was not the third out. In short, runners who advance safely on a fair batted ball are not penalized because a teammate missed a base.
