LL ball lodged in defensive equipment
Watching the Mexico/Japan LL game. Pitched ball bounces into catcher chest protector and become lodged in one of the flaps (dont know what Easton was thinking making a chest protector that has flaps large enough for a ball to get wedged in). I dont do baseball, but in softball this is a live ball, play on. Umpires in the game declared the ball dead and advanced the runners. Is this a correct ruling in baseball/little league?
