High school game
Fly ball to right center, caught. Runners on first and second. Runner on second holds the bag to tag, runner on first goes halfway. After the ball is caught, runner on second goes to third, runner inbetween first and second goes to second. Doesn't go back to tag. The throw goes to the cutoff then to the pitcher. Teammates and coaches are telling the pitcher to appeal, so the pitcher takes the rubber and steps off, but doesn't throw over to first. Repeats these actions again. Finally the coach calls time, granted, then walks to the mound to instruct the pitcher what to do. My question is , once time is granted is the play over and therefore have no right to appeal the play? Curious minds want to know.
