Had this situation in a game and was wondering if my partner and I got this right...
1st and 3rd, one out. Grounder to 2B who throws to 1B who is somewhat late getting to the bag and swipes at it with his foot. My partner in the field rules 1B missed the base and calls the batter-runner safe. Runner from 3rd comes home, runner from 1st rounds second and heads for third, 1B throws to 3B and I call the runner out on the tag.
1B now says to my partner that he did touch the base and (actually very respectfully) asks my partner to ask me for help. My partner agrees and asks me. I did see 1B touch the base and after I tell my partner that he changes the call to out.
Now here's my question...is that overruled out at 1st the second or third out? We conferred and neither of us was certain so we ruled it the second out, allowing the run to score and giving each team something to be happy about. But is that overrule the third out, negating the run? Thanks in advance...
