Question
Guest velthouse@hotmail.com
Slow pitch softball game. Runners on first and third. Batter hits a pop fly to third. Third baseman drops the ball. No runner moves and the batter stays in the batter's box. Ball is then thrown to second and then to first. Neither umpire says anything or calls time until after the ball is held by the first baseman forcing the batter out at first. After the play is stopped the hitting team claims they heard someone yell in field fly. It was not one of the umps or someone on the defense. No one on the defense heard this call. Umpire calls just the batter out. Was this the correct call?
