Here is a hypothetical.........

18U game.........Runner stealing on a swinging strike........SS comes over and puts the tag down late on a beautiful Pop-up slide........Umpire sells a safe call......

BUT.......F6 jokingly tells the runner that it was a foul ball........runner starts heading back to first and is easily tagged............

What do you do?

Joel,

I know that you ask Dakota the question, but I can answer
from 1st hand experience. Last year in 16U State ASA tournament
I had this play, and I had an out with no disagreements. The
runner looked a little puzzled but went back to dugout. Coach
did not say a word, to me.....but probably a whole lot to the
expired runner...grin
