I didn't see the game, but can speculate. There is some precedence for reversing the call.
First off . . . did Randy actually verbalize "Foul" or did he simply point foul? And did the Plate Umpire do anything to indicate "Foul" or was he actually indicating a fair ball?
In that scenario, (where one ump indicates "foul"; another shows "fair"), a play can stand; providing no one reacted to the erroneous call of "Foul". I'm guessing that's what the discussion was about and the ultimate decision to grant a double to the batter.
