Question I have is, if the ball popped out of the glove as the base was being tagged, did F3 really have control of the ball?

That play happened in an NCAA game 2 or three years ago and was protested.
The ruling was the same as youi were told at the national school.
Yes, it is a hard sell. I was't sure of ASA's take on it, but (if I can believe waht you say
, ASA agrees.....
