This play took place in an umpire training game. CAll made
on the field was "Dead Ball", runner out, and send R2 back
to 1B. We always put two "newbies" and a vet in these games
for training purposes. We also had the teams do a couple of
obstructions. Pickoff and play at the plate. Umpires on the
field were not aware that the plays were coming and missed both
of them. Also had a runner leave before a fly ball was touched
by the fielder. Base umpire called the runner out without an appeal.
Worse confusion was on foul ball/foul tip. Every ball tipped and
caught was called an out.
Might be a long season.
