The call was made, was incorrect, and endangered the defense. We have mechanisms within the rules to address exactly this situation, and it's not just our option, but our OBLIGATION to fix the situation.

There are certain calls that even though incorrect we have to eat.
Ball is FAIR BUT the umpire calls FOUL. Even though the call is incorrect we CANNOT fix UNLESS the dispute involved an HR in which case we can fix.
In the OP unless the ball was No-where near F2, you eat the call because that is the most likely result even for 15's.
IMO, once the umpire said batter's out and one of the parties reacted namely the defense, just like an incorrect Foul ball call you EAT the call, learn from it and move on.
