Offensive coach walked on the field and complained. FU appealed to the PU who overturned the call and advanced the runners one base each and put the defense back on the field. I don’t disagree with the call, but just wanted to confirm it was handled properly for my own education.
On second thought, was it too late for an "umpire jeopardy" rectification?
"Defense celebrated and rushed off the field "
