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.

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

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)

Why? He was just doing what Tim McClelland taught us ten years ago was okay.
