There are a few different ways to fix this. If you know your partner has misapplied a rule, or not seen what has occured, you need to get his attention and get together and get it right. One way is to take off your hat and look at him, or stand on a base or the mound. Of course you need to discuss this in your Pregame Conference. Once he see's you want to get his attention, get together away from everybody else, and ask him what he is calling, or what he saw. If he is in danger of misapplying a rule, and creating a situation where a protest could be upheld, tell him the proper ruling. Again, no one else should be anywhere near the 2 of you. It is now up to him to overturn the call himself. First he should go to the H/C of the team that it is going to affect, and explain it to him 1 on 1. Then correct where the runners are placed, and the playing situation. It is never easy to overturn a call, you almost always risk the potential for a S/House. But having a protest go against you is grounds for dismissial in Higher level ball, and damage to your reputation at the very least.
