Catch/No Catch
FED RULES
2.9.1 SITUATION C: B1 hits a fly to F8. F8 gets the ball in his hands but it is dropped (a) when he falls to the ground and rolls over; or (b) when he collides with a fielder or a wall; or (c) when he starts to throw to the infield. RULING: In (a) and (b), it is not a catch. In (c), it is a legal catch if an umpire rules the that the ball was dropped as the fielder voluntarily removed the ball from the glove.
I had a situation today where F8 slid and made a great catch. As he was rolling over and coming to his feet in one motion, he went to reach for the ball in his glove. Before his hand got there, the ball fell to the ground. This happened with two outs and no one on. I called no catch. My question did I make the right call or should I have let it go let?
