I had a similar play on Tuesday. BR (who is a fellow umpires daughter and a heck of a player) launches one right down the 3B line. We're playing a HS game on a city field that had fences of about 350' so there's not really a chance of it leaving the park but either way it's going for a ride. I'm BU and cut in as soon as I see it leave the bat. After the BR rounds first I cut a look to my partner who is signalling fair and I run with her to make sure she touches all the bases. Almost as soon as she hit the runners lane the DC is screaming "FOUL BALL, FOUL BALL". He continued this until she touched the plate. The BR didn't even hesitate so I didn't want to rob her of her glory and kill it only to award her home. After the play I call time and have a quick "Come to Jesus" talk with the DC who saw the error of his ways. One of my points to him was that there are only four male voices on the field, two coaches and two umpires. If she had stopped or hesitated it would have left me no choice on a hit like that.
