Bob,

Can you provide me with more background on this (such as a rule reference or interpretation)?

I'm sure it's in the BRD, but I don't have that with me right now.

Item 500 in the BRD.

"The umpire may reverse a call of foul to fair if he does so immediately and if on player reacted to the original call."

"A call of "foul" to "fair" may also be changed if the call had no impact on the "obvious" outcome of a safe hit."

In this situation if the end of playing action resulted in an obvious outcome, then reverse the call.
