Lodged Ball 5-1-1
The committee clarified the result of the play if a batted ball becomes lodged in a fielder's glove:
Play 13: With (a) no runners on base, or (b) R1 on first, B1's line drive to the mound smacks into F1's glove, but the force of the hit knock the glove off of his hand. The glove lands on the ground with the ball lodged in the webbing. F1 recovers the glove and prepares to throw the glove with the lodged ball to first base.
RULING: In (a) and (b), the ball is dead when the umpire sees the lodged ball. B1 is awarded first base. In (b), R1 is awarded two bases.
Ugghhh! Why does the FED INSIST on being different just for the sake of being different?
