I'm sure we could get all the TV commentators and LL coaches to say uncaught instead of dropped. That has been the problem for years, and with euphemisms for many rules.
I had that happen last week, although no one wastrying to score and the defense coach immediately told the catcher to make the play.
To the catcher's credit, did as she was told, but still didn't know why. After, she said to me taht she caught it, so I explained hitting the ground first.
