We don't let it appear that there was an "over-ruling." That can open a can of worms later in the game. We get together and the calling umpire gets the call right, when necessary.
I had an umpire come up to me uninvited a few years ago and tell me the running lane interference wasn't called in that league. He was an old guard and so I gave in. Now I'd be either ejecting him from the game or walking off the diamond.
