@ support - opportunity raised for potential future enhancement consideration to ask follow up questions on "Out: Missed Base" for statistical accuracy and play by play descriptiveness.
@Tacho47 - Juergen
good scenario.
how best to score... apparent double, but then batter-runner out on appeal for missing first base... how best to enter in iscore will depend on your priorities.... (a) Are you most concerned with play-by-play description for Fans watching remotely? or (b) are you most concerned with accurately reflecting stats, boxscore and scorecard without manual editing ? plus (c) how did defense physically appeal the play (pitcher throw to 1B or 2B tag batter-runner etc.) as that impacts the putout assignment ?
As you know, by rule, (ORB citations below) the batter who missed first base and was out on successful appeal at first should NOT be credited with hit. plus the fielder involved with the appeal out should be credited with a putout (by rule credited with a put out but no assists given on appeal. Correction - Assists should be credited,).
If i were scoring this real time, with fans watching remotely, i would "score it like i see it" ,
(iscore > in play > double > hit location/strength/type > out > missed base). fans would get as reasonable an on field play by play description as practical. I would then manually correct stats post game as needed to remove the batters hit and credit the correct fielder if the default 2B was incorrect.
If i were scoring this just for statistical reasons, and did not want to bother with manual stat correction post game, I would simplify iscore entry to
( iscore> out type (ground/line/fly) > hit location/strength/type > fielder involved). box score, scorebook and stats would be technically correct (but sacrificing some play by play description in the process.
In either case, I would use notes to clarify what happen (and remind myself to double check/correct stats post game).
Iscore could handle this a bit more cleanly from both a statistical and play by play perspective, If after an entry of "OUT: Missed Base", it asked two follow up questions, a) What fielders involved and b) did the hit count - but currently iscore assumes the hit counts or you would not have entered the hit and the fielder involved is same as base runner is at. Hence the two methods described above for entry .
please post back if any follow up questions .

Official Rules of Baseball
fielder credits..
MLB Rule 9.09(a) The official scorer shall credit a putout to each fielder who (1) catches a ball that is in flight, whether fair or foul; (2) catches a batted or thrown ball and tags a base to put out a batter or runner; (Comment:: The official scorer shall credit a fielder with a putout if such fielder catches a thrown ball and tags a base to record an out on an appeal play.) or (3) tags a runner when the runner is off the base to which the runner is entitled.
batter credits..
MLB Rule 9.06 d) When the batter, after making a safe hit, is called out for having failed to touch a base, the last base the batter reached safely shall determine if the official scorer shall credit him with a one- base hit, a two-base hit or a three-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out after missing home plate, the official scorer shall credit him with a three-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out for missing third base, the official scorer shall credit him with a two-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out for missing second base, the official scorer shall credit him with a one-base hit. If a batter-runner is called out for missing first base, the official scorer shall charge him with a time at bat, but no hit.
