It is not a foul ball...didn't hit the bat....and the catcher did not catch the strike three. I am assuming this is strike 3 he is out..........please weigh in.......also.......
FED Rules:
I am on the bases (2-man) with runners on first and second...I am in "C". Catcher.....after recieving the pitch makes a snap throw to 1st base.....I am straightlined and the firstbaseman has blocked my view of the runner on first attempting to dive back into the bag......I (without making a call) point to the UIC for his judgement...he without hesitation calls the runner out....the coach tells me that it was my call and I cannot do that......tells me that I have to make a call safe or out.......
Please help me out here......were my mechanics wrong? What should I have done differently if so? Thanks for your help/advise.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH HHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All rules:
Call time. Pitch is a deadball strike. If it's strike three, it's strike three. If it's the third out, it's the third out.
THE HANDS ARE NOT PART OF THE BAT.
