It looked like the umpires were talked into changing the call by the 3rd base coach (no doubt the Skipper). He must have held the same view that the majority of us here hold. Of course the defensive coach protested the game, as the run from 3rd tied the game. My bet is that the protest will not be upheld, and the umpire's call will prove to be correct.

What is the difference between the pitcher booting it, and the 2nd baseman booting it? The pitcher had every opportunity to field his position, and did not. Do you really feel that the runner had no right to try for 1st base unimpeded? The pitcher should have allowed the runner to go by before attempting to field the ball a second time.
