Once an umpire has called "Foul!" or "Dead Ball!", that's it. It's over. Period. All you can do is put your tail between your legs and eat that one. (How many times have you seen an umpire throwing his hands up and calling "Time" while a runner behind him is running from 2nd to 3rd? And guess what? If somebody throws over to 3rd and tags the runner, or if the runner ends up making it safely to 3rd---well, he's GOING back to 2nd because of the "time" call. All you can do is place the runners (and batter, if need be) back at their last legally occupied bases when the play was killed. There's NO other option---not even 9.01c. (Just pray that ESPN wasn't there filming the game---grin).
