Try to explain this combobulation and its outcome for discussion
Runners on 1st & 2nd
Batter hits infield grounder
Defense throws to 2nd
And then throws to first to try and get Batter Runner out.
1 umpire who was very much hustling getting in good positions to make calls on the field.
Immediately showed arms out safe at second, no audible call....
( this occurred during the sequence of the play)
As the throw got to first before the batter/runner umpire indicated out at first....hand indicator, maybe a soft voice out but I don't recall hearing it.
Because the defense had thrown the ball towards first, the 3rd base coach had the runner who was safe at second continue to 3rd.
As the play was close at first, first base kind of pulled quickly from the bag to get her throw going towards third, the batter/runner continued running towards second.
This is all happening fluently. No hesitation by Runners just going.
As the defense recognized the runner from second was going to third...
they were now throwing the ball to third to try and get that out...
the Umpire suddenly stopped all play on the field.
What umpire did was say
I called the girl out at first you are out, and pointed to her ( as she was now between first and second base). and then he sent the runner that was already safe on second that was at third back to second base.
It was peculiar to see everything be stopped in the middle of action. What say those on dfp?
