runners at 1st and 2nd, no outs, batter bunts towards 1B, coming from the right handers batters box the BR runs inside the line and brushes the 1B, 1B throws late to 2B covering first. I was PU and trailed BR out of the box, saw the contact, but for some reason I did not call dead ball and the interference. Play concludes with bases loaded and still no outs. I call time and tell BU, who is more experienced than me, that I have interference on BR. He says, correctly, that I should have called dead ball immediately and asked what I wanted to do. I tell him that I will call the interference on the BR, and return runners to 1B and 2B. He instructs me that we can not do that and we need to eat the call. I know I seen the contact and should have call DB immediately, but how should we have proceeded after my mistake?
