Looked like a good play to me. Confusion over the ump hand gestures, but it hit the bat like a bunt. Went fair.

Agree, but the home plate ump definitely gave the base runners the wrong hand signals, causing them all to think it was a foul ball. Therefore they did not run, thus the triple play.

I wonder what the rules say in situations like this?

Cool. I guess they can complain about the ump’s signals, but if in doubt, play to the whistle. There’s no excuse for the batter not running it out.

I saw what you saw. Probably should have run it out, just to be sure.
