Who's on third?
R1, R2, 0 or 1 out. Fly ball to right, and F9 busts toward the line to make the catch.
Base umpire (BU) must get the retouch of both runners. Right?
Plate umpire (PU) has catch/no catch and fair/foul. Right?
If R1 retouches and tries for second, BU has the play.
If R2 retouches and tries for third....
Who has the play?
I have always taught that the BU splits the difference and prepares for plays at either (or both) bases.
A supervisor for an independent minor league says the PU should take that play at third, even if it's the first play after the catch.
Any thoughts?
