Runner on 2nd (R2)and 3rd(R3). On a pitched ball, the catcher snap throws to third, R3 breaks toward home, 3rd baseman throws home and the ball hits R3 in the back. Ball bounces off the back of R3 and lands in the dropped catchers mask. R3 called safe, R2 awarded home. Discuss.

Did it just land in the catchers mask or become lodged and unplayable?

Play on, McDuff. Don't kill the ball, and award bases for I presume you are implying that the ball is lodged or the use of detached equipment.

Clearly not "detached equipment" because that requires intent.

I'd also argue "not lodged", but there may be some interp to the contrary.
