Yesterday I watched the plate umpire call a ground ball down the left field line fair for a single. Coach comes out and questions call, umpires huddle and apparently U3 who was standing direclty behind F5 and could not possibly have seen the ball cross over the bag convinces PU to reverse his call to foul ball. Now other coach comes out and questions call and goes to instant replay. Instant replay reverses call back to fair ball.

In baseball that call (ball breaking the plane of the front of the base) belongs to U3.
