The situation Runner on 1st 1 out. The batter hits a flyball to center and the LC makes an awesome, but bobbling catch. The runner from 1st was running on contact (I think he thought there were 2 outs) and had rounded 2nd base when the ball was caught. He then begins to retreat to 1st without retagging 2nd base, the thrown ball was missed by the 1B and went out of play. There was then an argument as to where the runner should adavnce to 2nd or 3rd by the offensive team, and then the defensive team appealed the play and now the unpire really wasn't sure what call to make. He did see the runner fail to retag 2nd. He got together with the umpire waitng to do the next game (setting in the stands) after a brief conference, they decided the runner was out on the appeal. What is the right call? I don't know.
