Glenn,
I'm afraid that I have to agree with those that said return the runner to 3rd if your partner called time.
There is a case play in either the Fed BB or SB book that give an example of an umpire declaring "time" without justification just before a runner scores. The ruling is that even though time should not have been declared by the umpire, that all runners must return to the last base touched.
I understand your thoughts, and ruling, but it is just not supported.
