DOH!

Watching a game ,since I sprained my ankle

I noticed the PU made a call saying "Dead ball, batter hit in the box"

And one of the coaches argued that the PU calling dead ball held up his runner, who would have been safe at first

these are ALL the details I saw from where I was sitting.

IMO from looking at the play

1) The kid WOULD have been out, he runs too fast inthe same place

2) the kid was NOT hit in the box. PU later told me that he didn't have a good view and from what he saw, he thought the kid got hit (actually it bounced wierd)

3) it boils down to the PU making the wrong call!

What can you do in that situation, where an Umpire makes a conflicting call, supposedly the BU didn't hear the PU yell out Dead ball, and rang the kid up when he was thrown out at 1st.
