OBR 5.09(c)(4) Appeal Rule
Advantageous 4th Out
"If the third out is made during a play in which an appeal play is sustained on another runner, the appeal play decision takes precedence in determining whether a run scores." If the defense appeals before leaving fair territory, the 4th out replaces or supercedes the non-force 3rd out to void the run!
