She looks up, sees both umpires with their hands in the air, and casually walks back towards second. DC starts yelling at his players to tag her, which they do. BU rings her up for the third out and game over. OC starts raising hell because both umpires has signaled "Time Out" instead of IFF. Say you were the BU and the PU signaled with both hands in the air or vice versa, what would you do?
UIC (college assignor) was near me in the press box and had a few choice words to say......

If I'm the OC, I'm calling for a UIC to protest.
