PLAY: No outs, bases empty. B1 hits a ball to the LC field fence. In trying to stretch the play into a triple, B1 gets caught in a run down between second and third base. During the rundown F6 dives and tags B1 on the back. F6 falls to the ground and the ball pops out of F6’s glove. The umpire rules B1 out.
RULING: B1 is out since F6 had control of the ball and completed the tag before hitting the ground and losing possession of the ball. F6
is only required to have control of the ball through the tag process to have an out. Rule 1 Tag, Rule 8, Section 7B
