R3, R1, two outs, tie game, bottom of sixth. R1 attempts to steal, throw arrives at the bag just above the dirt. R1 slides into the tag, big cloud of dust and BU signals "out". Fielder then lifts his glove and clearly shows the ball on the ground, BU correctly changes call and signals "safe". Meanwhile, R3 scores. Defensive team's coach then sprints out of the dugout and claims the out call created a "dead ball situation", where his "players stopped" (even though the time between calls was no more than 1-2 seconds. This ended up being the winning run.
Was this the correct call, or should we have put R3 back?
