runners score on appeal?

Question
Our church league plays on fields with no fence so all fair balls to the outfield are constantly in play. Here's my question,on a "home run" ball with runners on base an appeal is made that the batter missed a base.The appeal is upheld. Do the runs in front of the batter count? If this is not the final out, do any runners go back to any bases? Thanks for your help.

Answer
HI JR,

If there are less than 2 outs, the runner appealed missing the base is out, everything else that happened stands.  We do not put runners back.

If there are 2 outs, if the runner appealed is forced to that base, the offense gets nothing, no runs score.

If there are 2 outs and the runner appealed is not forced to the base, the runners in front of him score but nothing behind him.
