It's just a thought: The guy was out by three steps, then has time to turn and bumps into the first baseman's mitt. It seems like enough time had passed by to allow the out to stand.
Bob, I've long held that the NCAA description is silly. Imagine R1 and R2 with two outs. Ball hit to short moving to third - he gloves it and flips it to third for a close play but an obvious out. F6 was moving when he caught the ball and stepped on the base, he takes another step and while trying to remove the ball, drops it. Uh, oh... his voluntary release was not complete.
What if he trots off the field with the ball. In the dugout, he drops the ball. We see fielders make the catch for the third out and do this all of the time. Come on boys, call the damn out.
