Here's one a friend of mine had in a game:
R1 and R3, 1 out. Ball is hit to F1 on a short-hop who runs towards R3 to hold him on 3B. R1 advances to and touches 2B. F1 then turns and fires to F3. Ball gets away and is retrieved by backup fielder. BR is safe.BU has called BR SAFE, then realizes there are 2 runners in his view. One is R1 on base. The other,BR who has over-run 1B and is standing a ways up the line beyond 1B in foul territory. In the confusion, R1 takes off towards 2B and is tagged OUT. R3 advances and scores.
Defensive coach argues there should be 3 outs and no run should score. Besides wondering how the heck this happened, how would you rule this play?
