Seriously, though, FED rules explicitly allow the umpires to fix this, put everyone back, and continue the game. (10-2-3L)

We were playing OBR which is what legiuon ball uses. And yes the trhow beat him to the bag and the 2nd base ump ruled him out on the force not realiznig the infield fly had been called and the ball had dropped uncaught so the runner was advancing at his own risk. He wsan't tagged when he went into 2nd base. But not knowing the infield fly rule was called and thinking he was called out on the force is why he left the base. Personally, I think the umps knew they screwed the call up roally and were to embarassed to rectify the situation which would have meant admitting they kicked a very imprtant call at the worst possible time. Of course I could be wrong with the OBR.(Call happened in the bottom of the 11th innnig. Team at bat trailing 5-4 and 1 out when the situation occured. Infield fly was 2nd out and runner tagged out after thinking he was the 2nd out on the force was the 3rd out. This was also the championship game of the State tourney and it was winner take all as the tourney was(and still is) double elimination and both teams had 1 loss)
