The play was 6-5-4, U1 called runner at 2nd safe. The TH immediately noted she should have slid and probably would have been safe, but she went in standing up. The replay showed the ball getting into F4s glove before the runner contacting the base.

F6 started questioning U3 (Mike Bartling) about the call. The TH pointed out that U3 was telling the UT player that he thought the runner was out at 2nd. Yeah, like I believe that. Unfortunately, all the idiots in TV land probably do believe it.

Apparently, and I don't remember seeing it on the screen, Mike and Scott got together and the runner was ruled out at 2nd. And in their normal fashion of ignorance, declared that one umpire over ruled another's call which any intelligent fan knows that isn't going to happen.
