I had one game that was in a VERY recreational coed league. Neither team could get an out if a fly ball stopped 3' above the ground and just hung there. I'm BU, and my partner's behind the plate. One out, infield fly situation, so we give each other the signal. Fortunately, the batter popped up to the pitcher, and we now have two outs.
I glanced around and saw that no one was looking at me except my partner, so I used a VERY subtle non-ASA "mechanic." Instead of wiping the "possible IFF sitch" clean, I tapped my arm, pretended to inject something, and cocked my head slightly in a "please kill me now" gesture.
PU had to hold up the pitch for a good 15 seconds before she regained her composure.
