JohnF, that still doesn't explain the first call,and the subsiquent appeal home. Asking the home plate umpire for an out/safe call at first is like asking the Umpire in B position to check a swing. I have no doubt the firstbasemans foot was on the bag. It wasn't a question on the initial call either. Therefore, there was nothing to appeal.
As far as why the runner didn't break for home on the 1st and third, thats easy, because NO ONE TOLD HIM TO GO. I would have pitched to the #2 hitter instead of Lunn as well. From my vantage point, Reed was playing straight away, it was simply a well hit ball in the gap, as was the game winner, which he did almost get to (probably where the Telegraph got confused)
