Yes, Single A Ball uses two umpires.
I was doing a semi-pro game last year with a official that was in the pro system for a while. Had the same situation arise and got no answer or help what so ever. I looked around, the runner was heading back to the dugout so I called him out and it was accepted. Why argue with an out.
After the game, I discussed this with him and he said that as a BU, you are taught in the pro system to make that call on your own. Never pursued it any further, but I would be interested in why they teach it that way. ?????
