Reply to "So close to a successful appeal"

We had an appeal issue a couple of games ago. Same deal, first and third. Batter lifts a fly ball to right. Kid on third tags and scores. My son, on first, thought there were two away and took off on contact. He stopped at second when he figured it out. The opposing team, not quite getting how appeals work in hs, waits for the ball to return to the mound and then has the pitcher step off and throw to first. My son, realizing, finally, what's happening, starts hoofing it back to first. The pitcher then lofts the ball to the fence and it ricochets off to right field. The right fielder then throws the ball into left field, son takes off for third. The left fielder then airmails it into the stands and he scores. Talk about your appeal gone wrong.
