Wait a second. We are saying that he CAN return him to 3rd. He CAN also score him if he sees fit. This is a play where the umpires can do whatever they want to fix the problem, use "the hand of God".
It is entirely within their judgment and if they scored the run and a protest came, it is their judgment that is being protested.
Think about the can of worms you are opening if you allow this protest to result in an overturn. Where does it end?
