I had a cute one years ago, maybe U12 or 13 rec FP. Bases juiced, 2 outs, batter hit's one straight down, it blast's straight up off the plate, 10 maybe 12 feet. F2 standing on the plate, catches the caroom, clearly fair. I signal fair and a very clear out, while pointing at the nearing R3. F2 panics and throws one to RF. As you say, the show begins. Once the dust settles and I get em convinced 3 are out. O Coach, comes out pleading, nearly in tears. "Why is she out". Coach there was a force on at HP, F2 clearly was standing on HP with the ball in hand, that's an out".
"But, but, she didn't mean too"..
No stipulation's on a force, ball in possesion, touch of a base or plate, out.
