I dont think so. It looks like he thought the call was pretty close, maybe even a tie.
And a tie always goes to the runner.
You have to think about this from both sides. What if it was a close play and the runner was called out, but replays showed that the runner was actually safe. Then you have controversy over apitcher having a perfect game even though he really didnt. You call it as you see it, and try not to be swayed be any circumstances at hand. Clean and unbiased. If you start making exceptions here or there, thats when you go downhill.
