To be completely fair, they got hung up on a boulder, then struggled to cross a defense, and finally tried to use the secret passage to get back.

Even if they had made it, you'd have lost points for them using the secret passage.

If I remember right, this was immediately following the long discussion surrounding 254's potential second yellow card. With such a strict timeline, it's not surprising the refs would err on the side of "if any of those three things hadn't happened, they'd be on the batter and this would be a non-issue" rather than jumping to make a replay and push things further beyond the time limit.

Given the conversations I heard over the weekend, the refs were very worried about making sure things were as fair as possible for all parties. Think about the thread title here. It'd be just as fair to say "Poor driving by 1477 on Newton Subdivision SF2 M2" but it shouldn't really be said, either.
