Another one this weekend.
I'm coaching 1st base.
Bases loaded, batter up with a 2-2 pitch It's a ball umpire says ball four take your base.
Batter runs heads to first our runners all start moving. I'm yelling at our runners to go back. Umpire realized mistake and yells time
out as runners are moving. Our runner made is safe home but he made batter come back and count be 3-2 and runners go back. Our HC and
DLP (Designated Loud Parent) are screaming at me to protest to let our run count. I on the other hand was fine with the call as I would have
gone nuts if they tagged our runners out.
I'm pretty sure that I have read that if an umpire's mistake puts either team in jeopardy they can rectify the situation which he did.
Was the umpire correct in doing that?
