Happened today:
I was in the field, r1 r3, 1 out bottom of the last with the Home team up by one. Batter hit a line drive to F3. F3 catches it cleanly, but then he promptly turns his glove over, realsing the ball. He picks it up throws to second, F6 throws it back to first for the apparant double paly, in the meantime R3 touches home plate. After F3 "misses" the ball I call the Batter-Runner out and R1 safe at second because there was no force play and f6 didn't tag him. My PU called R3 safe at home. Of course the Deffensive coach came out to argue. He went back to the dugout. But then F3 said "nice call blue, not!" I said "if you wanna keep playing, be quiet." he responded with "ya, I'd like to see that," well needless to say he didn't play the rest of the game, which lasted into the 15th inning when the Visitig team won.

Intentionally dropped ball. Batter is out; runners return.
