Runs Scored on Appeal Play


Question
ASA slow-pitch league. Runners on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bases; one out. Batter hits safely to left field, between the fielders, though the ball remains in play. All three runners and the batter/runner score. When the ball is returned to the pitcher, he makes an appeal play at 3rd, claiming the runner originally on 2nd missed 3rd. The runner is ruled out on the appeal for the second out. The pitcher then makes an appeal to 2nd base, claiming the runner originally on 1st missed 2nd. The runner is ruled out for the third out. Does the run count for the runner originally on third? Does the run count for the batter/runner? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Ken,

I apologize as I made a mistake in my original answer as I misread the OP, somehow in my head I had both runners missing 3rd base, the answer I gave was correct for that BUT.........in this case no runs can score as the 3rd out is a force out (on appeal) of R3 on 1st base missing 2nd base.  No run can score if the 3rd out of an inning is a force out.
