Batter hits homerun and misses a base, how many runs score??

[DaveAM]

Playing NFHS rules:

2 runners on base, 2 outs, and batter hits homerun and misses 2nd base. Defense appeals to 2nd base and batter-runner called out. Do the 2 runners on base score? 

Thank you for all replies..

Yes. This missed base appeal is a time play, so if the runs scored before the appeal is made, they count. And because it's the BR, there are no trailing runners whose runs would be disallowed by the successful appeal.

Had the BR missed 1B (or R1 missed 2B), those successful appeals would nullify all runs scored.

Same rulings all codes.

Thank you for the reply... my partner and I did allow both runs to count, but after the game I thought about the ruling and was curious if we got it right.

While this time play was easy to adjudicate since at the time of the appeal both runners had touched HP much earlier than the appeal your question makes me wonder if you and your partner are aware of other time play appeal situations, one example being R2 and R3 with 1 out and a caught fly ball. R3 tags and goes home while R2 read a base hit and has not tagged so he is headed back to 2B when the appeal throw puts him out. Whether R3's run scores depends on when he touched HP, before or after the third out appeal at 2B. The PU has to be aware of the touch of HP and the play at 2B as in other time play situations.

Under NFHS where dead ball appeals are allowed would it make any difference if, for example, F4 of F6 notices the miss and immediately says something to an umpire? It is a dead ball if the ball was hit over the fence, but must the action be allowed to "play out" before a dead ball appeal will be entertained?

There's a provision in the dead-ball appeal rule that stipulates that runners must be given the opportunity to complete their advance/retreat prior to the umpire ruling on the appeal.

The rule would give a fantastic advantage to the defense if it were otherwise.
