I think the replays definitively showed the ball hitting glove then wall, bouncing back onto the field. It never went over the wall.
The conference took WAY too long. I was afraid someone on the crew was going to convince Welke to change the call, while all the world was seeing via replay after replay that his initial call was completely correct.
For a play like that, it's time to re-think baseball's ban on the use of replay to assist in getting a call right.
