In regards to when a ball is in play; when making a appeal
the pitcher must wait till the umpire signals "play ball"
before he can begin the appeal process. This is why the
runners are free to take any chances they may wish while
the appeal is in process (during an appeal is the only time
I know of in ASA softball that a runner can advance before 
the ball crosses the plate, anybody know of another case?).

p.s. both runners score, batter gets a single, 2 RBI's.
