I work a lot with the partner I had in this game. We discuss situtations
such as happen here. I knew that when I went forward toward 1B to make
the call, he would be headed towards 3rd. I was in great position to go
home if necessary. I knew he would see anything else that might happen on
the play, just did not know he had a fake tag, and that we had a LL umpire
for a coach that was certain BU should make all calls in the infield.
Main thing here was communications. Both umpires were aware of their
respective duties on this play.
