ASA tournament-I had a runner on 2nd and 3rd. The runner on 3rd broke halfway down the 3rd base line on the pitch. The runner from 2nd ran and stopped on 3rd base. The catcher ran the runner who was orignally on 3rd back down the line towards 3rd base. The runner who was organilly on 2nd but now standing on 3rd returns to 2nd base so that the runner being forced back down the line could reaquire 3rd base. So at this point both runners are respectively back where they started from.
The umpire calls the runner on 3rd out saying she could no longer return to
3rd since the runner from second had aquired the base. The runners tagged the bases in the correct order as they returned and where never on the same base simultaneoulsy. However the runner from 2nd who aquired 3rd base then returned to 2nd was not called out.
Is this the correct call?
