In the semi finals of our recent state tournament a call was made that cost us at least 1 run in a game that we lost 10-9, so I would like some help with rules interpretation. Here is the scenario: runner on third with 2 outs, batter hits a line drive that the third baseman attempts to make a diving catch on. The 3rd baseman, however, drops the ball, the runner on 3rd scores and the batter makes it to 1st base safely. Unfortunately, the plate umpire had yelled out "catch" immediately, but both umpires then acknowledged that the 3rd baseman had dropped the ball. This led to significant controversy as to what should be done. After the plate umpire and field umpire conferred their ruling was that the run did not count, the batter was out despite the fact that the 3rd baseman clearly dropped the ball and the inning was over. Did the umpires make the correct decision?
