Think I agree with all here, too. Joel, didn't you note someplace that this age group does not use the Infield Fly rule? If they did use it, that could change things. While the call was right, it appears PU was a little short on balls - musta left them on the plate at the end. He's gotta point to the plate and loudly state "Score that run" after he's called the other player out for leaving early. Then he's gotta stick around until the defense is off the field.
We all know that much of our credibility comes from the appearance we try to give that we are right on top of everything and have absolute command of rules and interpretations. This could well have given the appearance to all involved that theump was not in control, did not know for sure what he was doing, and that he snuck outta Dodge.
