NFHS 8-1-1f.
ART. 1...Ball becomes dead immediately when:
f. a fair batted ball:
5. lodges in players equipment or uniform
Therefore, the time that any umpire notices the lodged ball is the time when the ball is dead, and the awards are then made. It makes no difference if the ball subsequently becomes "unlodged" because the rule states that the ball is dead immediately upon lodging.
