A VERY veteran umpire on my HS and College board got away with it once. Here's the sitch:
College game - R1 on 2nd, no outs, 3-2 count on the batter. Runner off with the pitch, batter hits a screamer right at the shortstop who is blasted by the runner. My buddy kills the play for the obvious interference - only to see the pitcher turn around with the ball in her glove!
Evidently, she made a helluva play! He asked his partner "how are we gonna get out of this?" to which his partner said, "what do you mean 'WE'?"
He got both coaches together and said "here's what we are gonna do - runner back on 2nd, batter back in the box 3-2 count" - they both said "OK Jack, if you say so." I don't know of anyone else that could have pulled it off.
