I seem to remember an NFHS casebook on this one (help?). But for some reason this particular player leaves me :HS. Thankfully I have never had this play happen, though I have been up since 6 AM thinking about it.

Bases loaded. 3-2 Count on batter. Pitch comes in, and batter tried to check swing. PU calls ball. Batter heads to first, and all other runners head toward their next base. Meanwhile, Defense requests PU to appeal, appeal is granted and BU rules it was a swing (strike three). (1) F2 still with the ball, places a tag on the runner coming in from third before touching HP. (2) Everyone advances one base, inclunding R1 scoring.

What to do in 1 & 2 ?

10.2.3I Ruling (in part): The umpire-in-chief can rectify any situation in which an umpire's decision has placed a batter-runner in jeopardy. Advances and outs made by runners following a reversed call stand, if the call that was changed clearly did not place them in jeopardy.

So, since the call placed them in jeopardy, the UIC should fix it as he felt it would have happened had the strike been called. In both (1) and (2), I would call the batter out and return all runners to TOP base.
