Ball lodged in glove: FED interpretation

[scyguy]

8-3-3d refers to a pitch or any throw by the pitcher from his pitching position becomes lodged. I read further (and this may be what you are refering to) "batter hits a fiar or foul ball which is caught by a fielder, who then leaves the field of play by stepping with both feet or fallig into a bench, dugout ..." Again, I assume you are addressing the scenario about the umpire not realizing that the ball was lodged in the glove until the player reached the dugout.

I think using 8-3-3d is a far reach. If I am umpiring a game when a ball is lodged in the glove of an infielder who steps on a bag for a force out or tags a runner, we will have an out--not a two base or one base award.
