I disagree. He's right to insist on fairness, but wrong in his understanding of what fairness requires.
BU signaled "foul," so BR stopped running. It's unfair to the offense to change the call at this point.
Gordon is concerned about fairness to the defense: how can you take away an out? You take it away because it was obtained unfairly due to an umpire's mistake.
Fairness--providing no advantage not intended by the rules--is the justification for the OBR ruling I posted in
post #2 above.
