BEERGUY... That is what I thought. Connecticut uses NFHS rules for those wondering. In this situation, if appeal was successful and no subsequent appeal was made on R3, run would count if scored before appeal, correct? Thanks in advance and thanks to all who have responded. Much appreciated!

Is throwing to a base to get a runner out who clearly didn't tag up considered an appeal? Situation: Ct HS varsity game. Two man crew. One out, R2 and R3. Batter flies out to LF. R3 tags and scores without a play. R2 never tags (must have thought there were 2 outs.). Upon ball being thrown into 3B, numerous players (and crowd) yells "Throw to 2B, he never tagged up". Third baseman throws ball to second baseman who tags 2B. Field umpire rules safe, admitting he wasn't watching R2. Manager calls time and asks field ump seek help from plate ump, which he does. Plate umpire rules safe, then says, "I was watching runner on third, who left early, not runner on second so you appealed wrong runner and now it's too late to appeal that runner." Field ump was obviously out of position and I have no idea why plate ump would announce R3 left early instead of just ruling safe. My question is, is the play on R2 considered an appeal when he clearly (to everyone but the umps!) left early?

LL manager puts in an ineligible pitcher at the start of the 4th inning. Opposing team realizes this in the 5th inning and formally protests. Game must now be replayed from start of 4th inning.Local district tells me starting pitcher can pitch in the resumed game as long as he is eligible to pitch,as can the illegal pitcher.Somehow this doesn't seem right. Does anyone have a concrete ruling on this? What if there was a 2nd pitcher before the illegal pitcher,could the starter still pitch again? I can (almost) see the ineligible pitcher pitching in the resumed game,but the starter seems unfair to oppossing team.
