Just wondering what some umpire’s thoughts are on this scenario. Nobody out, R1 on second, R2 on first (me), and B3 up to bat. B3 hits a ball that SS has to dive for. I look at the SS, but can’t see the ball or catch so I glance at FU. FU raises hand to his head, but nothing is audible (common theme throughout the night fo any out signal). As R2 runs back to first, PU signals that ball is not caught and fielders throw to third then second for their idea of a double play.
What should the call have been since there were differing calls by the umps, and at least one runner was confused by the other umps call? Umps conferred, home plate awarded the double play.
