It trying to catch himself he reached out with his glove hand, Yep, the ball popped out over the fence.

TC,
Your play is a simple book rule two base award but i know big dogs don't like to call book rules.
How about if the fielder caught the ball, in live ball territory, in front of the gate that was accidently left open.
He ran down the ramp and then came to a stop with you close in pursuit. He then turned around and took a few steps toward the playing field and dropped the ball.
What have you got with no base runners? I hope you got an out but just in case you don't, I have. G.
