You, as the umpire, allow 4 runs to score. Defense protests that there was a passing the runner violation after the first two runners crossed the plate.
Valid protests? Who wins the game? As the UIC, what rule do you cite to validate your ruling?

Question for you guys and gals if any on this.
As we are supposed to accept all protest in major tournaments whether judgement or rule interpratation up here north of the border to let the protest commitee rule. We can tell the coach that it is a judgement call but if he insist we have to accept the protest now my question for you guys.
If during the discussion with the protest committee the ump or umps say they saw the passing but made no call. Is that a misrepresentative of the rule and is that protestable.
Thanks Dale
