18U ASA tournament. One out, runner on 3rd, batter hits a
line shot to pitcher. Ball hits pitchers glove with such
force it knocks glove and ball to ground. Ball remains in
pocket of glove - glove remains face up showing ball to all.
No call is made by either umpire until the pitcher picks up
the glove with ball still in it, then plate umpire goes up
with the right hand for an out. Plate umpire allows run to
score, since as soon as the ball hit glove runner could go
on fly(line-drive). Plate umpire defended self by saying
that as soon as pitcher picked up glove/ball she had control
and an out. Make sense to anyone???Only one other umpire
agreed with the out call.
