SPEAKING ASA
Bases loaded, no outs, batter hits a pop-up that either F6 or F5 can catch with ordinary effort, the umpire rules infield fly and the ball is caught by F5. Offense then complains that F5 was using an illegal glove/mitt.
Your call is...
A The manager has the option of taking the results of the play, or the batter is awarded first and all runners forced receive one base.
B The glove is rmoved and the batter bats again with the bases loaded.
C The ball is dead, the batter is out and all runner are awarded one base
D The play stands, but the fielder must change gloves.
