Stros vs. Cards: weird rotation

Did anyone else notice some kind of rotation they did when Scott Rolen hit a homer (with R1) in the bottom of the 5th in game 2? With 6 umps on the field, why rotate? And who went where? The replay I saw was edited.

Rapuano (LF Ump) left the game feeling ill so there were only 5 umps at the time. Probably rotated to cover his position.

i thought the ball rotated perfectly into the stands.
