Had this happen this weekend. I am PU.

Two outs, bases empty. Batter hits ground ball to SS. SS's throw is off target toward 1b line. F3 pulls foot to catch throw and, well you probably know the rest, collision. BU calls BR safe at first on the pulled foot.

Well here comes D coach. He heads toward BU and says rather loudly, "I know he pulled his foot, but he made the tag. Can you maybe get some help on that?

My p then looks at me from 90 feet away and asks me: "did you see a tag?"

I call him over to discuss the play between us. I tell him that F3 definately made the tag before BR touched first. I let him know it was his call to change. BU turns and calls BR out. No one complains.

Should I have just banged the BR out on my P's request, or was this the way to handle it?

Thanks!
