But how did this actually go down? It should have looked like this:
Ball hit.. you lined up R3 and ball in right. You see R3 legally tag and come home. You observe "appeal" play at 2nd, and observe the call of BU who calls R2 OUT!
Immediately you should have pointed agressively at the plate and announced loudly.. "Count the Run! Count the Run!" looking at score booth, or book.
Now if you nitwit nimrod partner wants to argue with YOU about it you can tell him he's nuts and he isn't going to OVERRULE your call. (Run counts).

Bases loaded, one out, fly ball caught by F9, R3 tags and scores, R1,R2 take off, both between 2nd and 3rd, F9 throws to second (after R3 crosses the plate), R2 out. Does the run score? I say yes, it is now a time play and R3 scored before the out was made. My partner a long time varsity ump with years of playoff exp. says no run, the runners were forced for the third out
