10-3-C, however, covers where the plate umpire can rectify a situation where a delayed call or a reversal in a call (in this case, reversing the call of an IFF) puts the defense or offense in jeopardy. At this point, a certain amount of discretionary judgment becomes involved, where the plate umpire must reasonably judge how to properly "fix" the situation.

Correct, the "jeopardy" rule.

The judgement is what affect the call had on offense or defense. In the OP, let's say the ball is not caught.

If the effect is the BR does not get to 1st, then it probably should be awarded if it appeared she would have made it otherwise.

Same goes for the other runners.

Then we have to judge whether the fielder who got the ball would have an out on another runner w/o being fooled by the call. If so, as above, probably judge the defense in jeopardy and count the out. Really tough to guess an
out though, so it would have to be real obvious.
