In baseball, calls are made in the middle of play that impact the rest of the play. That leads to a peculiar problem that became apparent in last night's Met's game:

This is about “Ramirez’s 2 run single”: [URL="https://www.mlb.com/news/marlins-top-mets-behind-jorge-alfaro-s-big-night"]Alfaro's two-HR, five-RBI night takes down Mets[/URL]  Runners on second and third, two out. A grounder to first. Alonso fields it and tosses to Brach, the pitcher, who hesitates to catch the ball and then puts his foot on the bag – a nanosecond  after the runner’s big toe touched it on the side opposite the umpire, who calls him out. Brach is aware he might not have beaten the runner and turns to throw home where the guy running from second base is trying to score the second run. He stops when (A) he hears the out call and (B) sees that his catcher, Ramos, is walking off the field. The call is reversed and both runs are allowed to score. Should there be a rule that players, when a call is recovered, have to return to the last base they occupied in the event of a reversal? Or should the defensive players try to get a fourth out in case they lose an appeal?
