I admit I had a similar occurence where I was the runner. We were playing a school for juvenile delinquents in a JV high school game on a Saturday morning. The pitcher attempted to pick me off and the first baseman held the ball long enough for me to stand up, dust myself off, look over to the mound to see the pitcher staring off into the distance, then start to take my lead. I was then tagged out. That first baseman was ecstatic! They are probably still telling that story at the school! I always let my runner know where the ball was after that. I saw in another thread that if the pitcher had been on the rubber without the ball, I would've gotten second on a balk.
