Had an interesting play happen this weekend.
Runner1 on 2B. 1-out. in the inning.
Batter/Runner hits a looping fly ball behind 1B in foul territory.
F4 runs down the fly ball, makes the catch, and then continues into dead ball territory.
Runner1 tags up on the catch, and reaches 3B.
Umpire calls her out for leaving early on the tag-up.
Runner1 coach argues she would be awarded 3B anyway on the "catch & carry".
Umpire sticks with the call, becasue the Runner left early on the tag-up BEFORE F4 entered dead ball territory.
I believe the call is correct. But wanted confirmation here, if possible?
