if i had seen the play i would have ruled that the ball was caught but the runners could only advance a single base since the ball was caught in fair territory then moved into foul territory. by ruling this way both coaches could be satisfied that the ball was a well hit ball that was caught for an out, and the baserunners do get to advance but only a single base since the ball became dead..
Ecurebel,
I am assuming you ment moved into dead ball territory. If the players landed in foul territory with less than two outs, the runners could advance at risk legally after retouching their bases.
