Reply to "missed base - rbi ?"

quote:
NCAA 8-5j: A.R. 1—No run may score on any play when the third out is either a force out or the result of a batter-runner’s failure to reach first base safely.


Is there something in the rules that clarifies whether this is specifically applicable to the appeal situation? If we change the scenario in the OP to a 2-out situation when the play started, did the batter-runner "reach first base safely" even if he failed to touch it?

What I'm thinking is that maybe somewhere in the rules regarding time plays, this situation might be specifically addressed as an exception. But, I don't a rule book handy.
