So its not what I thought I saw, it was what happened.

Ok... thats where I was confused. Your OP said the Plate Umpire... clearly this game didn't have a plate umpire.

Maybe it was one of those fields where the foul line goes to the middle of the bag. I hate those. I always tell the coaches we're going to play the lines as marked but if it hits the bag it's fair.
