The key to this play is that there is a stray ball in the playing area. This is a safety concern and play should be stopped even if the ball has left the pitcher's hand. Do not wait until a player steps on the ball and breaks his ankle or leg to stop play, because if that happens you WILL be the defendent in a negligence lawsuit.
