Catcher holds on to the ball- can B1 try to advance?
What if catcher does not hold on to the ball- is B1 out?

#1 Yes, B1 may advance. Up to defense to either
tag B1, or throw ball to F3 at 1B for the out. Ball was
in the dirt.
#2 "Strike 3 is in the dirt", now does not matter
if catcher does of does not hold on to the ball, B1
only out if proper play may on him/her. Tag/or
throw to F3 at 1B
