lukealex,

First touch (by the first fielder if more than one is involved in the catch). See Rule 2.0 "Catch".

I have no idea if the softball rules are the same on this point, but I was watching a softball game last year where it was treated the same by the umpire and nobody complained.

Yeah, CoachJM, same rule in softball.
We can't have a fielder bobbling the ball all the way to the infield can we?
