R1, no outs, 2-2 count on batter.
R1 off with the pitch. Umpire calls the pitch a ball and the throw to 2nd is late.
B2 thought pitch was a strike and walked to the dugout. BU up 3B line a little watching play at 2B and did not notice ODB stepping in the BB. On the next pitch, umpire rules ball four and awards B3 first base.
As B3 trots to 1B, here comes the defense's manager. What are you going to do?
