Misapplication, all the bases are in fair territory and thus when struck by a batted ball, the call is arm and hand pointing toward the interior of the diamond, fair ball. Where the ball continues is a live ball unless it enters a dead ball area established before game started with both coaches.
can’t penalize the offensive team for a well struck, fair ball. I would award the batter with first base and runner on third scores, runner on second advances to second. Since there is no reference to a fielder chasing down the ball and potentially having a play for an out I would consider this a fair ruling.
the second paragraph is my correction. But somehow the base ump has to conference with the plate ump, who is considered the lead umpire or umpire of record and have him to change his impulsive and incorrect, foul ball call.
