Dead ball or not???

I'm assuming you had more than one umpire (since you said he asked for help). You should have protested or made sure both umpires got together on their ruling.

Out of curiosity, why did he put the runner back on third?

Did he think the ball was dead, or did he call time?

Other than that, I would have protested.

Thanks
