Define Jeopardy

[Andy]

I posted a play I had earlier this season that would fit.

NCAA game, two outs, R1 on first, I am BU.

R1 attempts to steal second, throw to F6 covering, F6 tags R1 on the infield side as she is sliding, I call the out. What I did not see is that F6 dropped the ball during the tag, but was able to scoop it back up and appear to complete the tag. R1's body completely blocked my view of the dropped ball.

R1 jumps up and continues to third as the defense runs off the field. The offensive coach comes to me and asks me to check with my partner, she saw F6 drop the ball. I talk to my partner and he confirms the dropped ball. I reverse the call and declare R1 safe at second. However, I do not allow her to stay on third base. Had I seen the dropped ball and made the correct call in the first place, R1 would have stopped at second.

If I had allowed R1 to stay at third, it would have placed the defensive team in jeopardy as they left the field based on my call and did not attempt to play on the runner going to third. It would have also allowed the offense an extra base that they most likely would not have earned as a result of that play.
