Let me start off by saying that I now know after a talk with my assignor all the correct rules and ways to handle this should it happen again. I'm aware I kicked it and am ready for the firing squad. Score is 2-1 in favor of the VT. Bottom 3rd 1 out runner on 3rd. Pitcher is in the windup and picks off to third which starts a rundown between 3rd and home. I immediately called balk and awarded home. At that point the pitcher comes to me and says "Blue, I stepped off!" The DC walks over and is animated, but not bad also saying he stepped off. I confer with my partner who corrects me saying he had the step off and there was no balk. I then attempt to put the runner back at 3rd to correct the mistake balk. Then the OC comes out to argue. At that point my partner pulls me aside and says "you can't correct the balk call." For the record, I thought you could correct balk calls, but I let my partner talk me out of what I thought was right. We confer with the coaches and let them know that the balk call stands and cannot be corrected (I know I said it) and that we will resume play with the score 2-2 and the batter has a 2-1 count. Neither coach says anything and we split. I look up to the scorekeeper to make sure he heard that the run stands while everyone is getting back to position. I turn around to take my position behind the plate when the DC starts yelling "you said the runner goes back to third! You need to put the runner back!" To that I say "no coach, we've already said...." and he cuts me off and fires into a rant about how I never said anything about not correcting the call to him. and he pokes me in the chest. Strike 1. I let him chew for a minute because at the time I knew I kicked it and he deserved his say. He said "You never once told me that you couldn't correct the balk!" When i tried to respond he cut me off again. Strike 2. I said "If you cut me off again I'm going to toss you." At that point he poked me again in and chest and BOOM strike 3 sir you are outta here! He ranted and raved as he walked out and once he was gone we resumed play and the HT won 3-2 in 5 innings (we had a 1:45 time limit). Thoughts? If you want to ream my stupidity, have at it I know i deserve it.
