Sheesh! Didn't mean to start a whole rules discussion. These are Dixie FP rules, and the actual call is "delayed dead ball," I was just cutting to the chase...you know to the point where I kill the play, call the out, and tell the coach what a moron he was for costing his team the tying run with his actions. (Well...I wanted to tell him that, but instead I just explained the actual rule to him.) So Gre144, that was where the "dead ball" came from, the actions of the coach, not because the ball was in dead ball territory...the ball was never in dead ball territory, so I didn't kill it until all apparent play had ceased.
Sorry for any confusion my little story may have caused due to my expediency.
