My first thought is this is all about judgement. Do you as the umpire believe the runner would have scored/advanced on that trap or not? My second thought involves the inadvertant call provision that exists in High School but not the pros. You can fix a bad call so that a team is not jeopardized in HS, but the pro game has no such qucik fix. If your replay shows a blown call on that trap, too bad for the offense. The catch is registered and the runners stay put. Teach them to tag up.
