That is exactly how the LL call went also. The first baseman was stretching directly towards the base umpire. The U.S. coach just went to the wrong umpire to argue! The first base umpire might have asked for help if questioned, but he never was. The replay showed the call to be a good one.

I didn't see this game, but if the coach went to the PU, the PU should have directed the coach to U2, not just blow him off.
