The decision by McPhail was upheld because Martin protested the game that day saying that Brett never touched the bases.



McPhail overturned the ruling by McClelland and his crew that the bat was illegal. This is what resulted in the continuation of the game and is what was being address in my post and the post I was addressing.

After the umpires produced the affadavit, Martin issued notice that he was playing under protest. Later McPhail denied that protest, which upheld the results of the continuation. It did not cause the continuation.
