Bases loaded. Batter strikes out swinging but catcher misses ball. It rebounds directly off the backstop to the catcher. Pitcher is late to cover so F2 runs to the plate and lunges to tag R3. The ball is kicked out but R3 misses the plate during the slide/collision. R2 sees the plate uncovered when F2 goes for the ball. The dizzy catcher collects the ball and makes it in time to tag R2. After the dust settles, he stands on the plate and appeals that R3 missed the plate which is acknowledged for his third put out.
