Story 2
In last night's semi final DH, Lee County faced Johns Creek and took game 1. Lee County led game two heading to the bottom of the 7th by a 3-2 score. Johns Creek tied the game and had bases loaded with two out. A walk pushed what appeared to be the winning run across the plate. Lee County HC protested that the base runner from second never touched third, constituting abandonment and the third out, negating the go ahead run.

It's not really "abandonment" -- it's an appeal of a forced runner not touching the advance base. And, yes, in FED, it's required that all runners do so. If the umpires saw that the runner did not advance, AND the appeal was made before all the umpires let the field (I think those are the only two basis for the protest), the out call negating the run is correct.
