Top of eighth, runner on third one out, tie game.
Japan batter hits a short fly-ball to left. LF makes the catch and comes up throwing home. Throw not close and Japn takes a one run lead.
USA appeals runner leaving third early. Second base umpire takes the appeal and rules him safe. Buck Martinez ask HP Umpire Bob Davidson to check the call. Davidson calls over the second base umpire, Brian Knight, talks to him and then Davidson rules the runner at third out for leaving early.
Replays show that original call was probably correct, run should have counted.
The rotation on the play was U3 goes out on fly ball, U2 came over and took the tag-up at third.
