Game 4

Farnsworth (F1) knocks down a groundball back to the mound. He fumbles with the ball, than throws to first, where Karros (F3) catches the ball cleanly for the out.

Fick (BR) charges through the bag, and deliberately chops Karros (F3) on his glove arm. His glove, with the ball inside, go flying, and Karros (F3) grabs his arm in pain.

First of all, can you even do that? I know you're allowed to smash the catcher all you want, but the first baseman?

Second, the first base ump ruled Fick (BR) safe. Immediately after, without a conference, the home plate ump came flying up the line ruling Fick (BR) out. I thought you weren't supposed to flat out overrule?

Anyone see it?
