Thanks to those who responded to my "you make the call" segment!

Yesterday, a fellow netter and I looked up 
the "You make the call" play I described in 
a book specializing in unusual baseball plays. 

The situation they covered was bags loaded two outs. 
Batter hits a homerun, misses second. The oppossing team appeals
and wins the appeal. All THREE Runners score. (Since the out 
was recorded AFTER all runners scored. 

Therefore, in our game we should have protested (and would have won).

Another interesting play the book covered was: 

Bags loaded two outs. Batter hits a basehit. 
R1 (who was on first) misses second and goes to third. 
R2 and R3 score. Defensive team appeals and wins. What is the call?
NO RUNS score since the appeal becomes a force out and no 
runs can score on an inning-ending force out.
