I call dead ball out of instinct. Runner that was on 1st breaks for 2nd after seeing ball on the ground rolling about. I put runner back to 1st. Coach asks why and I tell him I called "dead ball". He's ok and we play on.

Afterward I'm thinking, I probably should not have called "dead ball" since defense is the one that screwed up the throw and allowed a situation where a runner could advance on the errant throw had it not been for my "dead ball" call.

Should I have kept my mouth shut?
Kill it. (But next time, know WHY you're killing it. )
