I, too, have overturned my partner's call only once in my storied 20+ year career, and it was in a D1 game. Partner was on the dish, I was in the middle of the infield with a runner on third and nobody out. Batter hit a foul fly down the left field line - plate man's fair/foul, catch/no catch. The ball was clearly foul, and the third baseman, with his back to home plate, ended up on his rear with the ball in front of his body - in the glove. Clearly a catch that my partner did not see. He yelled, "NO CATCH!", and just as quickly I yelled, "YES IT IS - HE CAUGHT THE BALL!", which I was easily able to sell as I was moving toward third anyway (for a possible throwback to the pitcher covering). Third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, and third base coach knew it was a catch, so there was no discussion. After the game, my partner, a D1 Regional umpire, thanked me for keeping us out of a s***house, and added, "Don't ever do that again!"
