Let me explain. If your second runner scored before the batter was out, he is a legit score. Your case is a strange one. The batter was not out until the appeal play was made (I'm assuming this was the case) and I'm sure that your second runner had scored by then. It should have been two runs scored, end of inning. Even though it is a judgement call (deciding who did what first; who scored or who got out first) it may be appealable since I'm sure the runner scored before the appeal play was made. Your batter could have came out of the dugout, touched home, then third and then second before the appeal was made. Tough luck. I had an outfielder catch a ball and fall over the homerun fence. Talk about your screaming arguments.
