Runner is on first base with no outs. The batter bunts the ball in fair territory right in front of the plate. The catcher jumps out and picks up the ball and prepares to throw to first base. However the umpire steps forward and is emphatically pointing to indicate it is a fair ball---and in the process inadvertently knocks the ball out of the catcher’s hand. The runners end up on first and second base safely.
