Replay a Game Due to a Mistaken Ruling?
"In a baseball game for 12-year-olds with teen umpires, a runner slides headfirst into home and is called safe. The opposing coach argues the league has a 'no head first slide policy' but cannot produce a copy of the rule. The umpires change their call to 'out.' Later, the same player slides headfirst into home again, and the umps automatically call him out for a headfirst slide. That runner's team loses by one run. That night, the coaches learn there is no rule against headfirst slides. The coach who erroneously challenged the umps admits his mistake and says the opponent should get the win. What is your take -- the game stands, change the winner, or replay the game?"
