Wonder what the OP did...
Glad you asked... I was waiting for responses, then I would post what happened.

I don't feel like I made the call too quickly, it was just that the runner's body blocked my view of the dropped ball as she slid. F6 was able to scoop up the dropped ball quickly and act like she completed the play. Of course, all the fans are yelling as well as the offensive teams dugout, both of which had a clear view of the ball on the ground.

After consulting with my partner, we returned the defense to the field and placed the runner at second base. I could not justify placing her on third because had I called the play correctly in the first place, she would only have been on second.

Some mild complaining from the defensive coach - "You already called the out, Blue! You can't change it now!" But they clearly saw the ball on the ground too, and were just complaining because they thought they should.

Offensive coach did not say a word about placing the runner on second.
