Federation says that if all participants involved ignore the call of foul that the call can be changed to fair. I personally have never understood how they are not going to react to me (6'5", 230 lbs.) screaming foul. At any rate, the ruling is well documented in the BRD and in the quarterly. This ruling is also present at the NCAA level. I'm not sure about the pro interp.

No -- that's the pro interp.
The FED interp is that the umpires can fix any call made in error that puts a team at a disadvantage. So, in this play, if the umpires think BR would have been put out at first, they can call the out.
If they think F2 would have thrown the ball away and all runners would have scored, they can do that too (but it will be the last game they work).

Good call Bob. I stand corrected. BRD pg. 210 has this exact situation listed. Unfortunately I don't see how they (Fed.) expect us to ever inforce this. I don't know about the schools in your area but in my area after being police escorted out of the place we'd never get invited back.
I saw something posted on here one time that said high school baseball is a great game ruined by too many rules.
I think that this is one such case.
Thanks for pointing out my error.
