FED 10-2-3l, may have blown it

[1dumbquestion]

sitch: R1, R2 1 out, B4 hits a ground ball to F6, F6 bobbles then tosses to F4 to start the DP, F4 drops the ball on the transfer. I'm PU and had come out to watch for FPSR. My partner calls the out of R1 then when he sees the ball on the ground reverses himself and calls safe. At this point R1 had started to trot off toward the 3rd base dugout but when F4 started after him he ran causing R2 to run from 3rd and ended up scoring with R1 being tagged out in a short rundown. So, OC is ok because he was going to get an out anyway and now he's got a run to go with it. DC is not pleased as my BU booted the call causing the run to score. My BU came to me with that look you don't want from a partner you've never worked with... the one that says he's scared and has no idea what to do next. He told me that F4 had dropped the ball when he tried to throw to F3 and he thought that R1 should be safe (he saw it on tv once). Anyway, I got both coaches together and told them we were placing the BR on 1st the R2 on 3rd and R1 was out at 2nd (thereby removing the run) DC was good with this but as you can imagine the OC was a tad upset. I (quickly) explained that FED allows for "fixing" the results of a blown call that puts a team at a disadvantage (no, I did not quote chapter & verse).

The OC jawed a little for the rest of the half inning but nothing out of hand. So, thoughts and opinion on how badly we handled it? Thanks, 1

If your partner explained to you that the F4 dropped the ball on the transfer, then R1 IS OUT.....

As soon as he starts to "Trot" to his dugout, everyone knows it.

 

I think the fact that the R2 was in a rundown and eventually safe at the plate, that one is on the defense.  R2 Scores.

i would agree but in my sitch R1 (not R2) got in the rundown because of the reversed/wrong call R2 simply trotted home when that happened.

When an umpire kicks it like that then you wont look good no matter how or if you fix it.  And yes I know this from experience.

 

I think that you did it right.

1dumb,

 

You did what you could - fixed a bad situation w/o too much griping and (most importantly) no EJ's!

 

If you & your partner post-gamed this, you did absolutely everything you could.

 

Great job!
