I just saw this play on the espn highlights. Did they give the batter 3 bases?

I saw Mike Scioscia do this about 25 years ago. He was in the big leagues and he didn't know that rule. He still talks about it today.

which game was that ?

Edit: turns out the video doesn't show the play, but there is a brief explanation of the situation in the article. Not much new info, though. |

I think there was a play last year where the catcher stopped the ball from rolling with his mask. However, I'm fairly sure it wasn't a batted ball. I think it was a pitch in the dirt.
