Yep, your correct on this one and I needed to be more specific. This is judgement. For that not to be called an out in my judgement, I would need to know if the ball came loose when the player made the tag. If the fielder doesn't lose the ball upon contact, I will be ruling the runner out. If it did come out when touched to the runner, then all bets are off and it's "game on!"
