District Semi-Final in Ohio,Batter 1A gets a base hit, a pinch runner is put in for him, Batter 2A gets another hit. Team A has men on first and second, Team B intentionally walks batter 3A to fill the bases. There is 1 out, Team B's Coach calls time to confer with HP Ump and says,"player on third base from Team A who was put in to pinch runner has some sort of gold necklace on". The 2 Umps confer and have a meeting in front of pitcher's mound, eventually tossing Player on Team A who was on third base out of the game. Coach of Team A replaces player with another runner at third. Coach from Team B confers with HP Ump again and this time HP Ump calls runner at third base out also. Now we have runners at 1st & 2nd with 2 outs. Needless to say, batter 4A hits slow grounder to second baseman who retires the side. Was this the correct ruling?
