in the situation. F4 was covering the bag. the throw was very high and F6 (who was backing up the play) caught the throw in shallow centerfield. F4 applied the fake tag, the runner slid, but F6 caught the ball. if F6 had not caught the ball, the slide by the runner may have prevented him from continuing to third on the overthrow.
not that i agree, but my partner's theory for warning both teams was this: if he just warned that offending team, he felt the other team might feel obliged to "retaliate" with a fake tag of their own.
