The ball is lodged.
Sorry, coach. As Tim Stevens puts it:

Rule 2-9-1 defines a catch as possession of a live ball in flight. If that ball happens to be trapped in another's glove, it still is a catch.

Rule 8-3-3-c applies mostly to catcher's equipment and that sort of thing, although it would be applicable if for some reason the ball were to lodge in a glove and the player were unable to properly remove it (the glove) or have the presence of mind to do so.
