Double First Base Rules
 
I'm sure this has been covered several times previously but I need a refresher.
Nobody on, no outs.
Ground ball in fair territory down first base line. F3 bobbles ball and causes it to enter foul territory, F3 enters and recovers the ball in foul territory, then steps on orange part of first base bag before BR reaches. BR steps on white base.
BU calls BR safe because F3 used wrong bag.
I thought this was an improper call.

It is. Since the defense made the play from foul territory, no matter how that happened, the defense can and should use the orange bag.

I agree, wrong call.

Officiating takes more than OJT.
