What is the call??

I hate to disagree with some of you, but you absolutely did the right thing here by stopping play and giving the ball to the corrct team. There is NOTHING in the rule book that covers this, and it does not even fall in the correctable error category.

The rule book states that the referee has final authority to make rulings that are not specifically covered in the rule book.

This is more a game management issue that anything. By not stopping play you are giving an undeserved advantage to one team. If you don't correct the situation, you are setting yourself for problems later in the game.
