One from today I witnessed.

I was working a track meet today at a local HS. After the meet the SB game was still going, so I decided to watch.

Top 7th inning, runner at 3rd, one out. Batter rips a line drive that hits off the pitchers glove and goes up in the air towards second base. The runner at third, seeing it pop in the air returns touches 3rd and immediately begins coming home. Ball is caught by F6 who throws home unsuccessfully in an attempt to get the runner coming home.

The home team coach comes out to appeal the runner left early. He gets very argumentative when the umpire rules correctly that the runner did tag up properly. Her last contact with the base was after the ball had been touched by F1, but before the ball was caught. I have never actually seen this play occur like this before. I was impressed with the umpire who made the call and with the fact he didn't toss the coach (who was one of my former HS teachers) for arguing.
