Question

Pretty sure I am overthinking this.
9U, OBR ruleset (don't think it would matter). Bases loaded, 2 outs. Batter receives ball 4. Runner from 3rd misses home plate.
Pitcher gets ball back and time is never called. Defensive coaches tell pitcher to run over and tag R3. He does so before the runner gets to the dugout. We have an out here right.
But, it did bring to mind an interesting secondary question for me:
At what point is the runner from 3rd in jeopardy of being called out on appeal? Is it as soon as he is one step past home plate without touching it? Do we use the same criteria as a normal play at home - if he is around the plate, then he has to be tagged but once a distance away, the base can be tagged on the appeal.

A walk is the right to advance to the next base without liability to be put out by the defense. It is not the right to miss a base, and the liability to be put out reinstates when he misses it. T

You were never taught that because you obviously don't know the difference. You have to call a runner out when they have missed the base and a proper appeal is made. There's no gray area. Why would yo
