Bases loaded, one out. The batter lays down a "suicide squeeze" bunt that rolls into foul territory near the first base foul line. Due to the spinning action on the ball, the ball is rolling back towards the foul line and has a chance of becoming a fair ball. The pitcher and catcher are running towards the ball and the pitcher yells, "touch it foul" at which time the catcher scoops up the ball with the mask he is holding in his throwing hand.

i believe that the ruling in fed and ncaa ruling for detached equipment applies to a ball in fair territory as well as one that is foul but has a chance to become fair. does the mask in the catcher's hand actually meet the definition of detached equipment? while it is detached from its normal location it is not completed detached from his body. it is not as if he has thrown his mask at the ball.

what is your ruling for fed and ncaa?? 3 base award??
