Bases loaded, bottom 7, two out, Legion A division. Batter hits single, run scores, batter-runner touches first, but R1 peels off halfway to second and heads for 3b dugout. I waited for defense to toss ball to 2nd for force, but they just jogged in and tossed me ball. I went and grabbed PU and we made a relatively quick exit before visiting team manager woke up from his nap. Since defense conceeded game, by tossing the ball to me, was it proper to not call the abandonment. I believe it was proper, as the expected call was for game to be over, home team wins, but would like some thoughts on this subject. It was a nice quiet walk to parking lot, but I have a feeling if we called the abandonment on our own without appeal, there would probably have been an ejection or two involved.

If thed defense says nothing, just walk away.
