This occurred in a HS game today. Bases loaded no outs, popup to short center. The second baseman made a diving catch (infield fly was not called). The runner on third was tagging but left early. The second baseman threw it to third, and the third baseman tagged the base. The runner was not called out. Ball back to the pitcher. The fielding team coach asked for time, said to the plate ump that the runner left early. The ump then called the runner out.
The ump clearly knew the runner left early, so shouldn't she have been called out immediately? Or is there something I don't know about this?
