I had one where the batter hit a screaming line drive right back at the pitcher's head - 2 outs & runners on 1st & 3rd. In self-defense, the pitcher managed to get his glove up and glove the ball cleanly. He held it for a fraction of a second and then opened his glove and let the ball fall to the mound and started walking towards his dugout. I ruled it a catch. Should I have, or should I have ruled it no catch?
