Player hits grand slam over the fence. Batter gets called out at home because of celebratory high fives as batter rounded third and prior to touching home plate by coaches and dugout players. That was the explanation from the umpire. No bases were missed. Batter did not get assisted home. The opposing team’s appeal was that several dugout players touch home plate before the batter did. That is not the explanation given by the umpire, however it would make more sense to be called out for touching home before the runner than being called out for giving high fives. Can anyone give an explanation?
