fair or foul
16U High school rules Batter hits a shot down the right field line. Base umpire calls the ball foul and indicates with his arm ball is foul. RF slows his pursuit of the ball and then home plate umpire starts yelling "fair" "fair". Batter makes it all the way to 3rd before the RF can make a play. Needless to say lots of arguing but no ejections.
Final outcome is play stands. Fair ball with runner on third. How should the umpires handle the double call? |
Shoot the PU for making a call not his.

No ejections?

Once called foul, a ball is always foul. Mostly...:eek:

Under FED, it remains a foul ball.
Under NCAA, place the runner where you think he would have ende dup had the ball been called fair initially (I'm assuming here that the ball really was fair.) |
What happened when the coach protested the incorrect application of rule?
(I also wonder what happened when UIC learned he has an umpire who would EVER say the word "Fair" out loud) |
How about the opposite situation, U3 signals fair ball and it is clearly foul according to the HP partner (who commented as such after we walked off the field), once play is concluded the 3B coach ask U3 to go for help and U3 says he saw it clearly. Coach now goes to HP and asks him to offer his info to his partner but HP says the call will stand since he will not offer unless asked by U3 who is not going to ask for it. Should HP step up and correct the call if he truly feels U3 kicked it or should the crew just live with U3's call? Granted, U3 could have taken the opportunity to go for help but he chose not to. FYI, this was a 16U championship game ending play. Hell, I was U1 and it sure looked foul from my crappy angle across the diamond, lol.

So you yell FAIR and everyone stops, because they don't expect to hear anything but FOUL. How do you handle that?:confused:
