Appeals?

#2 Always go to the official that made the call and calmly explain what your question is, pulled foot, dropped ball, juggled ball, missed base, others or an explanation of rule interpertation.

Should the official find reason to confer with their partner, thy will and let you know the decision.

No Partner should ever overrule their partner, let the umpire that made the call give the decision after the conference. I repeat JUDGEMENT in not appealable.

This may not be what you are looking for but this is the way it is and look for other umpoires to add to my brief answer. [/B]

If you watched final game of the Litte League WS this exact situation happened in the last inning. Possible pulled foot at 1B. BU made correct call (no pulled foot). US coach came out raising his voice to PU to rule on pulled foot. Coach never once asked BU about his call. US Coach simply wanted the PU to either over rule or up hold the BU's call. PU held his ground and told coach to play on. PU did a great job of not interfering with his partners call. Now if US coach had gone to BU first maybe he would have asked the PU for help or maybe not. Coaches (especially at that level) should know how to correctly approach umpires if they are looking to get a second opinion.
