The umpire’s call can be protested. You have to decide whether the protest is worth it.
At best, you protest and win…and the umpire gets to decide which runner to call out and which runner is put back on base. What you wanna bet the lead runner is called out? But, you get to continue play with a runner on.
If it’s a tight game, winning a protest, might be the difference between a win and a loss. If it’s a blow-out by one team or another, a protest is a teaching moment to an umpire. If no protest, the umpire gets to do the same thing to someone else.
Your call as to how to handle the situation.
