It depends on why the umpire missed seeing the call. If he was blocked out somehow, and the teams aren't making a clear call for him, the default should be foul. If he is merely working a crap field, he doesn't need a default, he just calls what he has. As SDS said, if they don't like the calls, they can line the field next time.
