Ok this happened in a softball game but I am pretty sure this can be applied to baseball in the same way.
Hitter crushes one to left center and it bounces and goes over for what appears to be a ground rule double.
Who watches the ball in this situation?
The homeplate ump walked up the third baseline with two fingers held up.
Not real sure what the third base ump was doing - he sort of seemed to be looking at the IF
First base ump came in and called a meeting and said it was a homerun.
So the girl got a homerun out of this. It was OBVIOUS the ball bounced over.
The defensive team's coach got tossed over it because he wouldn't leave until they went back to the original call.
