Be careful, CO. You may be thinking of NFHS 10-2-3m, which says the plate umpire may rectify any reversed
umpire decisions that put a team in jeopardy.
This was not an umpire decision. This was an umpire whose ineptness put a runner at risk. This cannot be fixed. If the runner had been tagged out, then the out stands.
It's no different than a base umpire getting hit with a throw from the outfield that causes runners to run additional bases. Oops, sorry, but all play stands. You cannot stop the runners from taking advantage of it.
