I seem to remember in Referee magazine a few years back, an article on how the different organizations have different rulings on a ball mistakenly called foul. Sorry I don't remember which is which, but some had rules and/or policies that stated:
1. once called foul, it's a dead ball and runners cannot advance.
2. if called foul accidently, but reversed before anyone reacts negatively, then it stays live (as in, "Foul! FAIR FAIR FAIR!"
3. if called fould accidently, and players react negatively, then the umpire can place the players where he thinks they would have ended up.
I seem to remember 2 & 3 as being NFHS, but I wouldn't put money on it.
