Alex umpire - know exactly where runner was when ball was thrown/released. Did runner miss base.Call dead ball when out of play. Rule if defense appeal of runner missing second base. Runner cannot go back and touch missed base after dead ball declared.ASA rule 7-I-3. Defense - appeal before next pitch.
