However, B/R DID have information from BU that it was foul and that caused him to stop running.
You can "rest your case" but the judgment is going against you.
We're not penalizing the offense because BU flubbed - and there's nothing for UIC to do so we're not going there.
The ball was fair why do we have a do over. Can you aboslutely beyond a reasonable doubt be certain that BR saw the signal? I'm assuming you're an umpire don't you scream foul on close ones down the line? Don't both teams expect this? If the ball is fair the proper call is out. Why penalize the defensive team because of poor mechanics? I win on appeal. Also I'm from Illinois the most corrupt state in the Union and I know people. LOL
