Ball in the dirt within reach of F3. F3 "traps" the ball between his hand or glove and the ground before B/R touches 1B. F3 hasn't clearly demonstrated possession by "lifting" the ball off the ground when B/R touches 1B.

Safe or out? "If he comes up with the ball in his hand or glove, it's an out. If the ball gets left on the ground, it's not an out." This play happens quite frequently during the season.
