No biggie. If I don't hear my partner say "Catch", I'm assuming one wasn't made. I'm not listening for "on the ground" or "ball's down" or (Heaven forbid) "no catch".
And quite often, I will know myself whether or not one was made because I'll watch the ball and only glance at the runner as she reaches the base.
