Scyguy, you took it upon yourself to make a final decisions without discussing it with your partner. Had the both of you gotten together, you probably would have been able to sort out who was who.
When I am in doubt with something on the field , I will check with my partner to make sure we are in sync and then we can go from there.Yesterday, during a Varsity game, there was a flyball down the left field line, PU responsibilty. I get into the infield and see what looks like the outfielder put his glove up to catch the ball. He then turns around and chases it to the fence. The ball is thrown in and the fielder comes running saying that the ball was under the fence and should be dead. He says that he put his arms up to signal. I check with my partner just in case he saw something I didn't see. We both agree that what the player said was NOT what we saw, and leave the runners as they are. We communicated to make sure that we both had all the information necessary, then from that a final decision was made. Communicate, communicate.
I agree with mc, this is probably one of those situations that should have been rectified by the officials, to correct your partners poor communications.
