Did anyone see the play (I think it was the third inning)...there was a ball down the LF line, I do not know 6-man but, I presume U5's coverage area is anything beyond U3, yes? Tumpane (U5) came into the frame looking like he was going to point it fair and then stopped and had an awkward look on his face. The frame of the shot was too tight to see what U3 was doing but, my speculation is that U3 forgot they were in 6-man, the ball goes by U3 down the line and he turns with it to take it as he would in 4-man forgetting Tumpane was out there. Finally something clicked...and Tumpane took the call, called it correctly and there was nothing further. Despite being down the line, it was not that close and they absolutely got the call correct. Was there anything else that happened on this that would have caused Tumpane to dry fire and then grab it as he should have anyway? Just curious what you guys might have seen...not looking to fry anyone over this...

Outfield umpires only have fair foul on balls that land behind them
