I would say the 2nd base ump but they should have talked about it first, you made it seem like as soon as the 2nd base ump called out the homeplate ump yelled out!

How many umpires were there? They have to come to some sort of agreement. You can't have two calls on the same play. I'm assuming that the second base umpire submitted to the third because he trusted the judgement.
