Partner, I need your eyes!
Anytime there is a problem similar to this, sun, tree limbs, foul/fair polls, I request during pregame to have all eyes on the batted ball. Touching bases is secondary to foul/fair and catch/no catch calls. I tell my partners I need their eyes.
You handled it as best you could after the fact. In a 2 person crew a lot of calls are tough and some are even missed. It is great that you had a coach that understood your predicament.
