2 outs in the inning runner on third. Ground ball to short (tough play in the hole, etc)ss throws out the man at first (guy from third runs off the field back into the dugout without touching home. Home plate ump over rules the first base ump and rules the guy safe, what do you do with the runner that was at 3rd?
Run him till he drops for breaking team rules and not finishing the play?
its the 1st base umps call
unless there was some sort of argument by the other that caused the umps to get together and discuss the play and overturn the call it wouldnt matter and the guy at first would still be out
I've seen this one happen before during a game.
High school level? These folks can be fun.
College level game. The game I was at the guy touched home but what would you do if he didn't?
you would have someone walk over to the dug-out and tag him....Or the plate umpire would call him out for being way out of the baseline....
No plate ump in the world should be giving any appeal because that runner on third was his, there is no way he should have seen what was goin on at second....
So if I was calling the bases, and he overturned my call, All of the above would have happened after I was walking to the truck, cause if he can call my calls and his at the same time, there would be no reason for me to stay!!! hahaha

I screamed that for a good 45 minutes to an hour while that mess was getting sorted out. By far the most upset I've ever been at a sporting event in my life. We pratically got robbed that night and still won the game.
the feild ump must have been a newby...I would have probably not let him overturn my call...I would thrown a fit or whatever it took if those were my bases...
He is out for leaving the confines of the field......
The umpires placed the runner at third in Jeopardy when the home plate ump. overruled the call at 1st. You must place the runner back at third!
I know this topic has been dead a while, but I had to chime in since it's been that long since I looked at this part of the forum.
1. Home Plate Ump should never over-turn a safe/out call.
2. Home Plate Ump can assist if help is requested by the field ump who cannot see if a first baseman has pulled off the bag. However, this type of appeal should take place before making the "safe/out" call.
3. If the base umpire appealed to the home plate umpire before making the "out" call, then the base runner is out for leaving the field of play. If not, then the runner must be put back on third.
You'll see anything at Hunter Wright and the AAC Tournament.
