Being "hung out to dry"

[tiger49]

I was completely hung out by a partner last year.

No one on he is U1 I had the dish. There is a line drive down the 1st base line he turns around and straddles the line. I follow BR, as the ball lands he makes no call and turns and runs into the field. During this time I watch BR touch 1B. Upon seeing that no call was made I signal "Fair" at this point my partner who is now half way between 1st and 2nd says "But it was a foot foul!" I responded right away saying "Then why didn't you call it!" The look on his face said; Point me to the nearest rock so I can go hide.

The offensive coach came out and asked what happened but he pretty much knew the answer.
