Pete Booth,

You really don't need to resort to 9.01(c) on this.

In addressing this exact situation, Jim Evans had the following to say:

"The runner stepped off the base as a result of the umpire's improper call. This is a correctable umpire's error, and the umpire should nulify the out."

The MLBUM also states:

"If an umpire's error such as a missed count or number of outs clearly affects the play, every attempt should be made to correct the error, if possible."
