Sorry about that, I did not mean to imply either.
The following is the procedure in most organizations I have been in: if a protest is upheld and the game is replayed from the point of protest, the original umpiring crew must return to finish their game whenever the remaining innings are re-scheduled for continuation. For those subsequent few innings, the umpires are not paid milage nor fees.
Fortunately it has not happened to me (yet?) I have heard the "pre-game" for these few subsequent innings usually starts with a re-cap of the situation and ultimate ruling. I have heard it is not much of a problem other than the crew having egg on their face.
