As the BU should I have said anything to make this call correct?

Maybe. Depends on the situation. That is a misinterpretation of a rule.

The game could have been protested due to misapplication of rules. This one play probably wouldn't change the outcome, however, it is easier to correct the ruling at the time.

About all you could do is call TIME and pull your partner aside and ask him about it. By his reaction in post-game, it sounds like it wouldn't have done any good. Whatever you do, don't overrule him. After the discussion, it is his decision whether or not to correct the call or not.

NEVER overrule your partner. EVER.

Call time and discuss, then let them change their call if they decide that is what they are going to do.

You're not overruling your partner. He agrees that this is a foul ball. He's got the rule wrong - this should not be an out. If you don't correct him he's not wrong, you're both wrong.
